5280\n\n\n"in Old England, the mile - derived from the Roman "mille \npassus" or 1000 double steps - was originally 5000 feet long as in the \nRoman definition (1 "passus" = 5 feet). Later, it took 5280 feet to \naccommodate exactly 8 furlongs, the most popular measure of the time.\n\nActually, the usual happened: the foot and the rod went slowly their\nseparate ways, being used by different industries (the weaver and the \nfarmer ....) Things had to be straightened up and, as the foot and the \nrod were already entrenched, we find these strange figures: 16.5 ft/rod \nand 5280 ft/mile. This was voted by the House under Queen Elizabeth I \nin 1595.\n\nIt should be noted that the furlong comes from the Greek and Roman \nstadion, which they themselves inherited from more ancient times. It \nseems to be the optimal length for the traditional plough.\n\nThe rod was determined by lining up 16 men (after the Sunday Service, \nthe story goes) and measuring the combined length of all their left \nfeet. These 16 feet make up 16.5 "feet." Thickness of the shoes? Gaps \nbetween feet? This is tradition ...."

(1871-1958) of Bridgeport, Connecticut, made pies that were sold to many New England colleges. Hungry college students soon discovered that the empty pie tins could be tossed and caught, providing endless hours of game and sport. Many colleges have claimed to be the home of 'he who was first to fling.' Yale College has even argued that in 1820, a Yale undergraduate named Elihu Frisbie grabbed a passing collection tray from the chapel and flung it out into the campus, thereby becoming the true inventor of the Frisbie and winning glory for Yale. That tale is unlikely to be true since the words 'Frisbie's Pies' was embossed in all the original pie tins and from the word 'Frisbie' was coined the common name for the toy.\n\nIn 1948, a Los Angeles building inspector named Walter Frederick Morrison and his partner Warren Franscioni invented a plastic version of the Frisbie that could fly further and with better accuracy than a tin pie plate.

Wasn't able to find anything on how it started or when, but I found a couple of links where you might be able to get some more information.  I did find some speculation on it originating from Maypole dancing or tree dancing, but nothing solid.  Good luck.

It is sometimes suggested that Ben Franklin was the first to suggest daylight savings in a letter to the Journal of Paris. However he was putting it forward humorously.\n\nt was first seriously proposed by William Willett in the "Waste of Daylight", published in 1907, but he was unable to get the British government to adopt it despite considerable lobbying. The German government introduced it during 1916 to increase productivity in World War I with the British following soon after.
