In the early 19th century various types of football under many differing rules were played in the English Public Schools. The game of Rugby Union evolved from the game as it was played at Rugby School. From about the 1870s on it developed as a distinctive game separate from Association football (Soccer) and was initially spread throughout the world by British settlement.
