The stick itself was developed and in mass production by 14,000 BC, but

the system of marking it with the metric scale was not added until the late

18th Century.

The meter stick was invented in 1795 during the French Revolution as part of the metric system. It was created as a standard unit of length equal to one meter, which was defined as one ten-millionth of the distance from the North Pole to the Equator.
