Argon was discovered by Sir William Ramsay, a Scottish chemist, and Lord Rayleigh, an English chemist, in 1894. Argon makes up 0.93% of the earth's atmosphere, making it the third most abundant gas. Argon is obtained from the air as a byproduct of the production of oxygen and nitrogen.
Layman's (If the first wasn't basic enough): Sir William Ramsay and Lord Rayleigh, two European chemists, discovered Argon in 1894 while doing research.

I believe by liquification of air, where nitrogen and oxygen liquify at a higher temperature than argon.
