It is believed that the game of Billiards evolved from a lawn game similar to croquet early in the 15th century in Norther Europe, probably in France. The game was moved to indoor play most likely because of the rain and bugs, I'm not really sure why. In fact, I could be making that part up but because it's on the Internet most people will believe me.

So, anyway, the French then used green cloth to simulate the green grass of the out of doors but found that the balls rolled around a lot more than if they were on real grass. They made a wooded base to put in the green cloth and put indentations in the wood to keep the balls from rolling too far. No one can prove this but I've heard stories...Anyhow, from there the game was moved onto a large wooded table with holes in it and covered in green cloth. The long handle of the croquet mallet was used to push the balls into the holes. The table had upright wooden rails around it that were only there to keep the balls from falling off. Falling off was a real bad thing back then because it was still widely rumoured that one could fall off the edge of the word. Oh, those silly Europeans. The table rails were then sized down and resembled the banks of a river hence the term "bank". The cue stick came later in the 1600's. When a ball lay too close to the bank in was very difficult to use the large head of the croquet mallet so people just used the end of the handle to pole the ball around.The wooden handles or stick of the mallet is called "Billart" from where we get the term "Billiards".

Some interesting timelines in the evolution of billiards to where we are today: in 1800 chalk was invented, 1823 the leather tip was perfected, the two piece cue was invented in 1829, 1835 saw the use of slate as a table surface instead of wood and in 1845 Goodyears invention of rubber was being used in the cushions on pool tables. Wow!
