Ancient peoples in the Mediterranean region, particularly Greece and Egypt, are thought to have developed early forms of geometry to establish land boundaries, etc., several thousand years ago. Their basic knowledge of geometry eventually developed into the mathematics needed to design and erect huge structures like the Egyptian pyramids and the great buildings of ancient Greece. Many different geometric theories were developed over the centuries, often without adequate proofs. A Greek mathematician named Euclid collected all the proven mathematic theories of his time and collated them in a 13 volume treatise called Elements. Elements is still used, more than 2 millennium later, as the basis of modern geometry in today's elementary schools.

I believe that Euclid was referred to as the 'Great Geometer'. What he did was gather and organize into several books all known geometry at his time. So if your definition of 'develop' is to gather information and organize it, then he developed geometry.
