Additional Information

Bowling as a game goes back to at least 3200 BCE Egypt, and the sport was popularized throughout Europe beginning in the 3rd-4th century AD. European colonists in the 17th century brought the game to the United States, where eventually men's and women's bowling leagues with standard rules were formed between the late 1800s and early 1900s. Over the 20th century, bowling rose in popularity, and the United States Bowling Congress claims that currently more than 67 million people in the United States bowl each year.
