Dart History
While both Henry VIII of England (1491-1547) and Charles VI of France (1368 – 1422) were both
avid enthusiasts of dart throwing games derived from warfare and archery contests, the modern
game evolved during the nineteenth century in English pubs. Often a barrel head was used as the
target, with the centrally located cork becoming the bull’s-eye. The term “cork” is still occasion-
ally used today when referring to the bull’s eye.
At one time darts were considered a game of chance, and were actually illegal in England until
1908, when a Leeds inn-keeper when to court to challenge the law; fortunately he was able to
demonstrate to the court’s satisfaction that darts were indeed a game of skill.
Between the two World Wars playing darts for fun and relaxation became more and more popular
in England. American servicemen stationed there in World War II often brought the game home
with them, where it eventually became popular in the United States as well.
