What was the first bantam breed? I've tried researching this but didn't get much and I was wondering if anyone knows.

I believe they came from Indonesia and the name bantam came from the port. That’s what google says.

I think that people bred for smaller and smaller chickens. These smaller chickens were taken from Indonesia and around the world people selectively bred them for various traits.
