Did you know...the sandwich is named after the 4th Earl of Sandwich, John Montagu? He was said to have ordered meat between two slices of bread, as he didn't want to leave the gambling table.
However! The simple sandwich is actually much older - there are records of Hillel the Elder wrapping lamb and herbs in matzo during Passover. Hillel died around 10 CE, so it's definitely safe to say he beat John in the creation of the sandwich!
