Democritus was the first one credited with the idea of the atom. He proposed that all things were made up of small bits of matter and he called them atoms.
He was discredited and the idea did not catch on because Aristotle was highly regarded, and he did not believe Democritus. It wasn't until the 1870's when Dalton gave us the Atomic theiry that the idea of the atom was brought back into light.

c. "Democritus (Greek: ??????????) develop right into a pre-Socratic Greek fact seeker (born at Abdera in Thrace round 460 BC[a million][2]). Democritus develop right into a student of Leucippus and co-originator of the concept that each and each and everybody count number is made out of countless imperishable, indivisible factors which he pronounced as "atomos", from which we get the English note atom."
