Badminton was first played in the mid-18th Century by British guards stationed in British-India (when India was part of the British Empire), it became known as Poona, as that was a town in which Badminton was becoming rather popular. In 1873, the 'Duke of Beaufort', who was the owner of Badminton House in Gloucestershire, hence the name 'Badminton', definitively launched the new game.

According to Jean-Yves Guillain, the author of Badminton, an Illustrated History[2], the first traces of a game involving the use of a shuttlecock can be found in Asia, and specifically in China. It supposedly has its origins in T'su-chü, a Football game created 2,500 years BCE at the time of the legendary Huang-Di in order to improve the skills of soldiers fighting Chi-You, the leader of the Miao people. In Japan, the related game Hanetsuki was played as early as the 16th century. In the west, badminton came from a game called battledore and shuttlecock, in which two or more players keep a feathered shuttlecock in the air with small racquets.

Badminton come from England in the 16 hundreds ish.

It comes from a game that they used to play like badminton, but with one person and no court or net.

Like snooker it was invented by British Officers stationed in India in the mid 1700s. It came from the much earlier Eurpoean game of Shuttlecock and Battledor, the earliest form of which was extant in Greece about 2000 years ago.
