Basketball was originated by James A. Naismith in 1891, in Springfield, Massachusetts. The actual start of "the game of basketball" began on January 26th, 1892 when Naismith wrote the "rules of basketball". The name was derived by the fact that the "goals" were actually peach baskets and the object was to put the ball in the basket. Naismith was a Canadian working as a physical education instructor at the YMCA at the time.

The creator of basketball was a P.E director and the original basketball hoop was actually a peach basket. His first name I think was Nathian.
