Alexander Graham Bell was an inventor, scientist, and teacher who is best remembered for inventing the telephone. He was born on March 3, 1847, in Scotland, and he and his family moved to England in 1865 and Canada in 1870. A year later Bell moved to the United States, where he taught speech to deaf students and where he also invented and improved a number of electrical technologies. He became a U.S. citizen in 1882 while remaining a British subject; he later moved to Canada and lived there until his death on August 2, 1922.
