Where was modern lacrosse invented?

Answer 1

Modern Lacrosse was adapted from different ball games played by Native American's across much of modern day Canada and the United States. This game had many regional names and was important to Amerindians religiously, politically and economically. In 1860 a man from Montreal named William George Beers was the first person to produce a written uniform set of rules governing the play of Lacrosse. In 1887 the Canadian Lacrosse Assosiation was the first governing body to regulate this new sport. The modern Sport we know as Lacrosse was adapted rather than invented in Canada, most likely in Quebec or Ontario in the mid 1800's.
