The first reference to a form of the game is mentioned in a 1744 British publication titled A Little Pretty Pocket-Book, by John Newberry. Early forms of the game in America have been documented as early as 1830. Abner Double day was long believed as having invented the game as we know it today, but that has largely been debunked. In 1845, Alexander Cartwright led the codification of the so-called Knickerbocker Rules. By the mid-1850's, New York newspapers were referring to the game as the "national pastime" or the "national game."

It is thought to have been created in 1861.

It was created by the United States. Baseball is known as "americas past time" so..you would think. but yeah its a fact.
