History of the Tenor uke?

Tried searching on here and online for specific information who first r designed the tenor uke and more info on it but i can not find much about it. I know now apparently it was designed in the same concept as how the baritone uke was a 'larger uke with guitar like tuning' but i can't actually find any specific info that states who designed it anyone have any links etc??? just curious.

History of Martin tenors well documented, can't find much about any others.
