Bowling is thought to have been invented in 3,200 BC. However, his date is highly-speculated. What is known is that it was a popular sport during the time of King Henry VIII. Bowling cannot be listed as being invented by one person although the first signs of bowling were discovered by Sir Flinders Petrie, a British anthropologist in 1930.
Bowling alley proprietors in Connecticut invented ten-pin bowling. In 1841, there was a lot of crime at the nine-pin bowling centers that were popular then, and to end the problem the Connecticut legislature banned "bowling at Nine Pins." The proprietors added a tenth pin to get around the ban. For some reason the legislature didn't go back and ban "bowling at Ten Pins."
