La cerca eléctrica ha ido cambiado a lo largo de los años y se le han adaptado algunas características hasta crearse la cerca electrificada que conocemos hoy en día.

• Publicado por primera vez en 1832, el Capítulo 7 de modales nacionales de los estadounidenses por Fanny Trollope describe una disposición de cables conectados a una máquina eléctrica se utiliza para proteger una exhibición llamada “El Infierno de Dorfeuille” en el museo occidental de la historia natural en Cincinnati, que ella misma inventó.

• Realizado en 1870, el capítulo 22 de Veinte mil leguas de viaje submarino, de Jules Verne, describe: “Los Relámpagos del Capitán Nemo” el uso de la electrificación de una estructura como un arma defensiva.

• Empleado en 1889, la novela de Mark Twain, Un yanqui en la corte del rey Arturo, utiliza una cerca eléctrica para fines defensivos.

• David H. Wilson obtuvo la patente de EE.UU en 1886, la protección de la combinación, una señal de alarma, y las comunicaciones telefónicas. Construyó una cerca eléctrica experimental de 30 millas alimentada por una rueda de agua en Texas en 1888, pero no tuvo éxito.

The Electric Fence in war

• In 1905, the Russian army improvised electric fences during the Russo-Japanese War in PortArthur.

• Come 1915, in World War I, the Germans installed the Death Wire, an electric fence along the border between Belgium and the Netherlands to prevent the unauthorized movement of people across the border. They covered 300 kilometers and consisted of several strands of copper wire, backed with barbed wire, and powered by several thousand volts. It is estimated that 3,000 human deaths were caused by the fence, as well as the destruction of livestock.

The Electric Fence in livestock

• Initially, Residential Electric Fences were designed to prevent livestock from escaping. They are also used with great success in zoos to restrict or confine animals in an open area, and in forest plots undergoing natural regeneration, where herbivores are abundant.

• Electric fences were used to control livestock in the United States in the early 1930s, and electric fence technology developed in both the United States and New Zealand. An initial application of the electric fence was developed in 1936-1937 by New Zealand inventor Bill Gallagher. Constructed from an automobile ignition coil and a "Magneto (ignition)" magneto assembly, Gallagher used the device to keep his horse by scratching itself against his car. Gallagher later started the Gallagher Group to improve and market the design.

• Also in 1962, in New Zealand, Doug Phillips invented the non-shortable electric fence based on capacitor discharge. This significantly increases the range an electric fence can be used from a few hundred meters to 35 km, and reduces the cost of fencing by more than 80%. The non-shortable electric fence was patented by Phillips and in 1964 it was manufactured by Plastic Products, a New Zealand company, under the name “Waikato Electric Fence”. This idea was to replace the ceramic insulators with plastic. A variety of plastic insulators are now used on farms around the world today.[2]​.
