Best Answer

Bowling has been around in one form or another since at least 3200 BC. (earliest evidence is known to exist). The modern version of tenpin bowling has been around since 1840 when the first indoor bowling alley, Kickerbockers of New York City, was built. Our tenpin bowling is derived from German Kegelspiel, which was played in America during the civil war.

Was bowling existed 100 years ago?

There are several schools of thought in this. Some thing bowling has been around since about 3200 BC due to some artifacts found in a tomb that were very similar to bowling equipment. Some say around 300 AD in Germany. Either way it has been around for a lot longer than 100 years.
