Sadly, the early history of Western free reed instruments is somewhat cloudy, but if we are defining the harmonica as a mouth-blown free reed instrument where the notes of the scale are selected by the player's mouth, rather than fingers, the usual answer to this question is that it was invented by sixteen year old Christian Buschmann in 1821.
Johann Christian Seydel and Christian August Seydel began making harmonicas in 1847 and founded a factory in Klingenthal shortly afterwards, which is currently the oldest harmonica factory in the world.
