The first record of the acknowledgement of handwriting was Aristotle in 330 BC when he wrote, "Speech is the expression of ides or thoughts or desires. Handwriting is the visible form of speech. Just as speech can have inflections of emotions, somewhere in handwriting is an expression of the emotions underlying the writer's thoughts, ideas, or desires."
The first handwriting analysis was about 100 AD when Roman Historian Suetonius stated that he did not trust Emperor Augustus because he did not seperate his words from eachother.
In 1662, Camillo Baldi was credited with the title the "Father of Handwriting Analysis" for stating that he believed handwriting to be a reflection of the author's temperment and personality.
Over the next 200 years, handwriting analysis grew but not in the forensic sense. People would have their handwriting analyzed in a similar fashion to taking a personality test!
The development of handwriting analysis being used as crucial forensic evidence in the US has only happened within the last 20 years or so.
