Scientists think that a game like bowing was played in Egypt thousands of years ago.
Toys that look like a ball and bowling pins were found buried with a child who died around 5200 B. C.
People who study history know that the game was popular in Germany around 200~300 A. D. It was played by people in some churches in order to show that they were good Christians. When people bowled poorly, they had to go to church more often.
The first bowling place built inside a building opened in England in 1455. Then the game was taken to the United States where most people played it outside.
During the 1800s, many people in the United States began to bowl for money, so several cities made the game illegal. Many people kept on bowling illegally. A group named the American Bowling Congress (ABC) began around 1900. The job of this group was to clean up bowling and make it a gentlemen's game again.
At this time, the game was mostly played by men. If women played, they hung a curtain up so that the men were not able to see them.
Then, in 1916, a woman's group named the Women's International Bowling Congress (WIBC) made a point of showing that the game was fine for both men and women.
