Badminton

Badminton

The English dukes of Beaufort probably played this game at their country estate named Badminton. The game supposedly originated in 1873. The game of Badminton most likely emerged from an old children's game called battledore and shuttlecock. The game of Badminton was first to become very popular when played out-of-doors by army officials in India. MORE! [BM] {ED}
