Abstract: Abstract This chapter focuses the history on the emergence of the ideas leading to new areas of study in algebraic topology and conveys the contributions of some mathematicians who introduced new concepts or proved theorems of fundamental importance or inaugurated new theories in algebraic topology starting from the creation of homotopy, fundamental group, and homology group by H. Poincaré (1854–1912) in 1895, which are the first most profound and far reaching inventions in algebraic topology.
