The wheelbarrow was invented in ancient Greece. There is no name attached to this invention. It is unclear what it was used for when it first appeared. Though there is some evidence that it was used on construction sites. It appears that once Rome collapsed the wheelbarrow disappeared.It reappears through history with out any changes.
