Fun Picnic Fact: The first table designed specifically for picnics (in a style similar to what we know today) may have appeared in the late 1800s. As popular as picnics are, little is known about how and where they originated. The word “picnic” was first introduced in English in 1748. In the 19th century, a group of wealthy Londoners formed the Picnic Society to promote this fashionable social affair, to which each attendee was expected to bring food, as well as contribute some form of entertainment. It was around the middle of the century when it became associated with the outdoors, and the first picnic blankets appeared. Its rapid rise in popularity soon led to the invention of the picnic table.
