Report of First Arrest
The discovery of Titanium was in 1791 and was found as a black powder now called ilmenite and is a mixture of oxidized titanium and iron. When the sand was analyzed by William Gregor, he found the sand was magnetite and a reddish brown new metal. After concluding his research in 1791 he called the new metal manaccanite in the honor of the parish of mannacan. In 1795 a German chemist named Martin Klaproth found the new metal in the mineral rutile and named it Titanium after the sons of the Greek goddess.
