The origin of the nine pin skittle game is still unknown.
It used to be played in the county
of Béarn
It was brought to America by French emigrants.
The first important nine pin skittle competition took
place in Dax in 1898 and other competitions followed in the South West of
France.
The French nine pin skittle federation was created in
Orthez (Atlantic Pyrenees) in 1948.
It is now part of the F.F.S.Q. (the French Skittle
Federation), now called the F.F.B.S.Q. (the French Skittle and Bowling
Federation).
