It was discovered by Sir William Ramsay and Morris Travers in 1898 in the residue left after evaporating liquid air components.
1-in making electron tubes, stroboscopic lamps, bactericidal lamps, and lamps 2-in analytical chemistry as oxidizing agents 3-used in the atomic energy field in bubble chambers, probes, and other applications where its high molecular weight is of value 4-potentially useful as a gas for ion engines 5-used to excite ruby lasers for generating coherent light

They had to work with huge volumes of air to produce just a little xenon since it turned out that xenon is only present to the extent of about 0.087 ppm in the atmosphere.
