The idea of intelligent life on Mars was a profitable argument in the late 19th century. Because of the lack of technology and the impossibility to see the martian surface with precise tools, many speculations about the Red Planet's surface were popular.

The idea, however, would be popularized by Percival Lowell and his book "Mars", originally published in 1895. According to Lowell, the martian canals were resulted by modern engineering, performed by superior intellectual beings. However, the idea, even if it's creative and spread for several other media, especially novels, it was subsequently dismissed by scientists.
