Protons are attracted to both other protons as well as neutrons. So inside a nucleus there exists a battle between the electrical repulsion and nuclear attraction. The proton by itself is stable but the strong force is not quite strong enough to bind two protons.
In 1911 Ernest Rutherford who performed many experiments to explore radioactivity did an experiment in which he discovered that the atom must have a concentrated positive center charge that contains most of the atom's mass. He suggested that the nucleus contained a particle with a positive charge the proton.
