It's no surprise that it was invented in Mexico where maize was first domesticated.

Early Evidence:
The earliest evidence of popcorn consumption comes from archaeological sites in Mesoamerica (modern-day Mexico), with some discoveries dating back to 3600 BC.

Aztecs and Mayans:
The Aztecs and Mayans used popcorn for various purposes, including food, decoration in ceremonies, and religious offerings.

Cultural Significance:
Popcorn was a significant part of their culture, with evidence of its use in worship and as a form of decoration.

Other Evidence:
Archaeological finds in other parts of the Americas, including North America, also point to the early consumption of popcorn by indigenous peoples.

I googled it:
Popcorn wasn't invented by one single person but rather evolved over time. The practice of popping corn is thought to have originated in the Americas, with evidence of popcorn being consumed dating back 6,700 years in coastal regions of Peru. While early methods involved heating corn kernels directly over fire or in heated pottery, Charles Cretors is often credited with introducing a commercial popcorn machine in the 1880s. His invention, a mobile popcorn cart, allowed for larger-scale popcorn production and increased its popularity as a snack.

Indigenous peoples discovered and utilized popcorn thousands of years ago. I don't know who was the first.
