The ingeneers Clark and Reeves were the first to have the idea of such a tower, for the Centennial International Exhibition of 1876 in philadelphia.

The initial design was drown by Maurice Koechlin and Émile Nouguier for the Exposition Universelle of 1889 in Paris.

The architect Stephen Sauvestre, working for Eiffel, contributed the decorative elements.

The design will be shown to the Engineer and Entrepreneur Gustave Eiffel, and he will enthusiastically defend the project, and win the competition with another 107 project for the central piece of the Exposition universelle.

The tower was built by workers, and Gustave Eiffel oversaw the construction.

The workers who built the tower in 2 years were a team that never surpassed 250. The are called "les voltigeurs" (the high flyers) and are led by Jean Compagnon.
