The first paintballs were created by the Nelson Paint Company (1950s) for forestry service use in marking trees from a distance, and were also used by cattlemen to mark cows. Two decades later, paintballs were used in a survival game between Charles Gaines and Hayes Noel in the woods of Henniker, New Hampshire, and Paintball as a sport was born.
