The History of Croquet  started sometime before 1850 and somewhere in Ireland, moved to England and eventually found it’s way to the US.   In the beginning croquet was more of a women’s game, but men have embraced the game over the years as well. Croquet was also a game where both women and men could play together and equally challenge each other for sport or for fun.
