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.
