United States Bowling Congress is a Ten-pin bowling organization in the United States of America. It was formed by way of a merger between the American Bowling Congress, Women's International Bowling Congress, Young American Bowling Alliance, and USA Bowling in 2005. The USBC's headquarters are in Greendale, Wisconsin.
At the same time, the sport's image among the upper classes was enhanced by the opening of more luxurious and elegant lanes like The White Elephant, opened by restaurateur Joe Thum, whom many consider to be the father of bowling, along with Dick Weber, who contributed to the sport some time later (in the second half of the 20th century) and for some decades afterwards, in that Thum he created America's first bowling organization on September 9, 1895, when he pulled together representatives of various regional bowling clubs and formed the American Bowling Congress (ABC).
