What country does badminton come from?
Badminton was invented in the 1860s by the daughters of the Duke of Beaufort, based loosely on an ancient game called "battledore and shuttlecock" and using the same equipment. It was named after their dad's summer mansion, Badminton House in Gloucestershire, England, where they first played it. The dimensions of the modem official badminton court, 44 feet long and 17 feet wide, reportedly match those of the room where the young women developed the game.

Who invented the game badminton?
Badminton was known in very ancient times; an early form of the sport was played in ancient Greece. In Japan, the related game Hanetsuki was played as early as the 16th century. In the west, badminton came from a game called battledore and shuttlecock, in which two or more players keep a feathered shuttlecock in the air with small racquets. The game was called "Poona" in India during the 18th century, and British Army officers stationed there took a competitive Indian version back to England in the 1860s, where it was played at country houses as an upper class amusement. Isaac Spratt, a London toy dealer, published a booklet, "Badminton Battledore - a new game" in 1860, but unfortunately no copy has survived.[2] The new sport was definitively launched in 1873 at the Badminton House, Gloucestershire, owned by the Duke of Beaufort. During that time, the game was referred to as "The Game of Badminton," and the game's official name became Badminton.[3] Until 1887 the sport was played in England under the rules that prevailed in India. The Bath Badminton Club standardized the rules and made the game applicable to English ideas. The basic regulations were drawn up in 1887.[3] In 1893, the Badminton Association of England published the first set of rules according to these regulations, similar to today's rules, and officially launched badminton in a house called "Dunbar" at 6 Waverley Grove, Portsmouth, England on September 13 of that year.[4] They also started the All England Open Badminton Championships, the first badminton competition in the world, in 1899.

In what year was invented Badminton?
In India during the 18th Century.Invention of Badminton - In China?The Invention of Badminton was claimed by some parties to have happened in China during the 5th century BC originated from a game called 'Ti Jian Zi'.This claim is disputable as 'Ti Jian Zi' is actually a game which you are suppose to use your feet and not a racket to hit the shuttle.But since it is the first game to use a shuttlecock, I will give them due credit... Somehow I wonder if this has contributed to players from China being the powerhouse in World Badminton today. Just a thought...Since I have a more detailed page here, I am just going to list down a few must know to better understand Badminton.- The Badminton Game was first played in a place called Badminton, England.- The IBF (International Badminton Federation) is the official body of World Badminton.- Thomas Cup (men) and Uber Cup (women) are the most prestigious team event in World Badminton held every two years.- The World Championship is the most prestigious individual event in World Badminton held every year.Whether or not we can trace the true origin of the invention of badminton is not really important.
