Who invented 9 pin bowling?

Answer 1

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."

[answer removed for inappropriate/non-contributory reasons]

Bowling has been around since at least 3200 BC in one form or another. The format we play today in tenpin bowling comes from the German's Kegelspiel, which was brought over some time before the civil war. We adapted tenpin in the early 1800s and the first indoor alley was built in 1840 at Knickerbockers of New York City.
