Black powder was invented in China more than 2,000 years ago. Gunpowder (modern gunpowder that is) is actually substantially different. Generally speaking, smokeless gunpowder was invented in the US around 1900.

"Gunpowder is considered one of the Four Great Inventions of the Chinese, since the Chinese records on their usage of gunpowder appear to be the oldest.
The first type of gunpowder was black powder, probably of Chinese or Arabian origin."
