According to a popular story, the Solitaire game was invented by a French aristocrat in the 17th century, when incarcerated in the Bastille, explaining the game's less common name Solo Noble. In other sources, the invention of the game is attributed to the Native Americans.

The first evidence of the game can be traced back to the court of Louis XIV, and the specific date of 1697, with an engraving made that year by Claude Auguste Berey of Anne de Rohan-Chabot, Princess of Soubise, with the puzzle by her side. Several works of art from that time show solitaire or ‘peg solitaire’ boards, demonstrating that the game was highly fashionable.
