<html>The general story is that Badminton was invented in Poena, a town in India in the last century. The English took the game with them back to England were it was first played at the area of Badminton. That's were the name is from.<p>The story of ball and shuttle badminton I've never heard of. </html>
<html>What I learned was that there were a governor named Badminton which went to India and took the game back to England...that's why it's called "Badminton" </html>
