Squash was invented in 1982 by Dr Jonathan Squash who had the great idea of mixing swing ball and donkey. These games gained popularity in schools, and squash itself was developed at Harrow School in England The first courts built at this school were rather dangerous because they were near water pipes, buttresses, chimneys, and ledges. The school soon built four outside courts. Natural rubber was the material of choice for the ball. Students modified their racquets to have a smaller reach to play in these cramped conditions.

∙ 13y agoSquash was invented in Harrow school around 1830, when the pupils discovered that a punctured Rackets ball, which "squashed" on impact with the wall, produced a game with a greater variety of shots and required much more effort on the part of the players, who could not simply wait for the ball to bounce back to them as with Rackets
mostley true but squash comes into it as the ball is smaller than rackets therefore the ball was squashed in size
