📍There are various opinions of where the phrase originated. However, it is hard to say which one is correct. The most popular opinion being that it is American slang that is believed to have originated because of bonfires and fireworks that were used to celebrate.
It is also believed to date back to when cowboys rode into town. They would get rowdy and threaten to "paint the town red" with blood.
It is also said that the phrase is relates to an 1837 incident involving the Marquis of Waterford, who went out drinking with his friends in the English town of Melton Mowbray. The group got very drunk and caused a lot of destruction. They even painted various objects in the town red. However, this story cannot be substantiated and very little written evidence can be found of the tale. 👍
