Samuel Morse, an American painter, philanthropist, and inventor, developed Morse Code in 1835. Morse Code is a set of sounds that correspond to letters of the alphabet. In 1838, Morse and his friend Alfred Vail developed the system of dots and dashes that became known as Morse Code. Morse Code assigns letters and numbers a set of dots and dashes based on their frequency of use. The first telegraph message was sent on May 24, 1844 from Washington, DC to Baltimore. The message was "What hath God wrought!".
