The 'invention' of football goes back as far as the 11th century in England. During those days the football was an inflated bladder, usually from a pig. This is where the term 'pigskin' came from. In 1876, colleges that played football agreed upon a ball to be used that consisted of a vulcanized rubber bladder encased within leather. So, to answer your question, the first football was made from a pig's bladder.
