The first recorded 'cheer' was by Princeton University fans in 1884
The University of Minnesota 1898: their football team was having such a bad season people felt the need to create positive chants. Modern Cheering was born.
The 'Pom Pom' and 'Megaphone' were introduced to the sport of cheerleading in the early 19oos by Lawrence Herkimer.
Lawrence Herkimer is now seen as the grandfather of cheerleading.
