Newton was the first to discover gravity but he benefited greatly from the laws of motions discovered by Johannes Kepler.
Newton, by deriving Kepler's laws of planetary motion was the first to show that the motion of objects on Earth and of celestial bodies are governed by the same set of natural laws.

Galileo Galilei conducted experiments concerning gravity at the tower of Pisa...however it was Newton who contributed to our knowledge about gravity with his Law of gravity around 300 years ago...Newton's Law, as well as his laws of thermodynamics had to be revised in minor ways because of Einstein's general theory of relativity. Einstein showed that gravity is the result of mass in space/time.

Both Galileo and Da Vinci experimented with gravity, but Da Vinci was wrong, and Galileo was partially right, but he did not have the mathematical knowledge to back it up. Isaac Newton was the one to be attributed with the discovery of gravity because he set up the basis of knowledge that we know of today.

Aristotle is the first guy to theorize about gravity that I am aware of. Not a very good theory, but he's way before those other guys (>300 BC)

Actually, Leonardo DaVinci experimented on it as well.
