Does anyone have any idea when the different games like 8-ball, 9-ball,
one pocket, etc., started, and where?

Well, for what it's worth, when I was growing up in Toronto, snooker was what the "good" players played, the bangers played 8-ball. Tying it into your subject line, now, we didn't call it 8-ball; it was universally known at "Boston Ball".
