Where did cornhole originate?

Answer 1

Some think that a version of the game was played many years ago in Germany, and then spread all over Europe. Today though, it is thought to of started in Cleveland, Ohio or in Chicago, Illinois. Between the two cities there is a somewhat bitter rivalry, as each place wants to claim the title for the origins of the cornhole game. Since there is proof of the game existing before either one of these cities did, its safe to say that neither can claim it. How it got to be so popular after so many years of it not being around is unknown. The game, however is having a successful comeback due to its popularity in Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, and particularly in Kentucky. It is known to being playing mostly in The United States, although it has been seen in the UK recently.
