Bluegrass as a style developed during the mid-1940s. Because of war rationing, recording was limited during that time, and it would be most accurate to say that bluegrass was played some time after World War II, but no earlier.
As with any musical genre, no one person can claim to have "invented" it. Rather, bluegrass is an amalgam of old-time music, country, ragtime and jazz. Nevertheless, bluegrass's beginnings can be traced to one band. Today Bill Monroe is referred to as the "founding father" of bluegrass music; the bluegrass style was named for his band, the Blue Grass Boys, formed in 1939.
There are several North American bluish-green grasses of the genus Poa pratensis. Yes, it is green, but it has a blue hue to it. Bluegrass music is named after the band that first defined the sound that came to be called bluegrass; this was Bill Monroe and his Bluegrass boys and they were named for Bill's home state of Kentucky, the 'Bluegrass' state.

Bluegrass music was developed in the late 40's by Bill Monroe and his Bluegrass Boys, featuring Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs who provided Bluegrass' hard driving sound. Bluegrass was a refinement of 'Old Timey' music which was a evolution of folk music brought by immigrants to the Appalachian mountains. As time went on songs that came from such countries as Ireland and Scotland became the basis of songs that were sung and played with instruments such as guitars, fiddles, and banjos. Eventually, new songs would be written in the manner of which we know as Bluegrass Music today.
