When did Canadian football start?

The first documented football game in North America was played at the University of Toronto on November 9, 1861. The game of football was introduced into the United States by a team from Montreal's McGill University when they played against Harvard on May 15, 1874. The game of football in the United States has its origins in that game. Two teams currently in the Canadian Football League, the Hamilton Tigers (1869) and the Toronto Argonauts (1873), were already in existence by that time. The Hamilton Tigers much later amalgamated with the Hamilton Wildcats to form the present-day Hamilton Tiger-Cats. By comparison, the oldest professional team in the US, the Arizona Cardinals, was not established until 1898.

Why is football called football?

Because it's one of the world's many football codes: association football (soccer), rugby football, Gaelic football, Australian rules football, and American/gridiron football. All of them except soccer allow use of the hands in open play. American football began as a kicking-oriented game. It wasn't until the first American colleges to play football met and standardized their rules, based on the English rugby code, that kicking played less of a role in the game. In fact, kicking remained a primary strategy until the forward pass was legalized in the early 20th century.
