Do you know how bowling got started? A little excursion into history

2. May 2025

Bowling has a long history. The first mentions of bowling-like games date back to ancient Egypt! The modern form of the game began to take shape in the 19th century in the USA. Gradually, the rules were standardised and the sport we know today was born.

Interesting fact:
In 1895, the first American Bowling Association was founded in New York, which unified the rules and spread the game around the world.

Today, bowling is a popular leisure activity for millions of people of all ages.
