When did the Tango originate?

The modern ballroom tango appeared about 1880 in Argentina.

It combined the old tango of Spain, a light-spirited variety of flamenco, with the milonga, a fast, hot Argentine dance.

At first considered low-class, the new tango was all the rage in fashionable circles by 1915.
