Have you ever heard of cornhole and thought, “Wait, why that name? Where did it even come from?” Believe me, you’re not alone! It sounds a bit odd, but once you learn the story behind the name, it makes total sense.
And no, it wasn’t some marketing team who came up with it— the name came about naturally, just like the game itself.
So let’s explore where it all started and how we’re now bringing this awesome game to Croatia.
Okay, Why Cornhole?
Honestly, the name is very straightforward:
Corn: Back in the day, when modern materials weren’t available, people filled small bags with dried corn. It was cheap, practical, and easy to find.
Hole: The goal of the game is to toss the bag into a hole on a wooden board. Simple as that.
So, corn + hole = cornhole. There you go. Literal and without overthinking it.
From German Fields to American Farms
You might be surprised, but the roots of this game stretch all the way to Germany. People there played an early version of the game with bags filled with grain. When the idea crossed the ocean, American farmers adapted it—they used corn instead of grain, added wooden boards, and voilà!
Cornhole, as we know it today, was born.
It started on farms and backyards, but today it’s played literally everywhere: beaches, parks, bars, even at official tournaments.
Who would’ve thought that tossing small bags could become such a hit, right?
Fun Fact: Cornhole Has Many Names
If you think cornhole is the only name for it, think again. In some parts of the U.S., it’s called “bean bag toss” or simply “bags”.
And sure, let them call it whatever they want—but let’s be real, cornhole has the most character, doesn’t it?
