The history of water polo as a team sport began as a demonstration of strength and swimming skill in late 19th century England and Scotland, where water sports and racing exhibitions were a feature of county fairs and festivals.

The water polo ball was invented by the same people that invented the game itself, they were British people laying in lakes and rivers. The ball wouldn't have been a water polo ball as such, it may have been a football, but as soon as it was used for that purpose, it became a water polo ball.

The earliest known documentation of the sport of water polo can be traced back to the 1800's. In 1885, the Swimming Association of Great Britain officially recognized the game and formalized the rules made by William Wilson.
