Supposedly Cincinnati is one of the founding Meccas of Cornhole. I don't know. It started showing up her about 30 years ago. The only time I ever came in contact with the term previous to this was in its other usage. One of my Dad's tenants ran afoul of a gang of alternate lifestyle types back in the twenties and in the 70's, he was still rather put out with the imposition. He used that term.
I think you're probably right. First we ever heard about it around here was back in the mid to late 80s when the Buckeye Navy started bringing cornhole sets to the lakes.
