Bowling has been popular in
America since Colonial days. During 17th century, English,
Dutch and German settlers imported their own version of
bowling to America. At that time, the game consisted of nine
pins which were regularly played in an area of New York City
still known as Bowling Green. Connecticut banned ninepins in
1841 because of their gambling implications. The American
Bowling Congress was formed on 9 September 1895 and is
credited with standardizing bowling in the United States and
organizing official competition, under the encouragement of
proprietor Dennis Sweeny. Through the years, the game has
changed. A variety of tactics have been developed. The
invention of automatic pinspotter in the 1940s revolutionized
both the bowling game and industry. Currently, the sport of
bowling is enjoyed by 95 million people in more than ninety
countries worldwide.
