The history of bingo has a long and colorful history. It is believed that bingo was invented in the late 17th century in England.
The game was called “bingo” because people would use a piece of paper with a grid of 26 squares on it, and would call out numbers as they marked off squares with a wooden ball. The first documented bingo game took place in 1684. .
In the early days of bingo, it was played mainly by men. However, over time, the game began to be enjoyed by women and children as well.
In the 1920s, the first national bingo association was formed in the United States. Bingo has since become one of the most popular games in the world, enjoyed by people of all ages and backgrounds.
