Dr. James Naismith, the inventor of basketball, was born in 1861. He grew up in Ontario, Canada, and later attended McGill University in Montreal. Naismith moved to Massachusetts in 1891 to work at the YMCA Training School in Springfield, where he invented the sport. The first basketball hoops were peach baskets nailed to an elevated track.
