It was not exactly discovered; it was defined. Discovery means that it already existed, and somebody found it (for example, when astronomers discovered that there are other galaxies, apart from our own).

The metric system was originally defined in France, in 1791; the most recent version is the SI (Système International) was developed in 1960.
