Dallas Cowboys Team History
Dallas Cowboys Franchise InformationFranchise Granted: 1960 First Season: 1960 Franchise History: 1960 - Present Dallas Cowboys (NFL) In the initial months following its formation, the Dallas team was known as the “Steers.” After a few weeks, however, the name was changed to “Rangers.” At the same time, a baseball team operated in Dallas under that name, but was scheduled to fold before the 1960 football season. However, when the baseball team decided to play one more season, Clint Murchison Jr. and Bedford Wynne, two owners of the new NFL team, selected the name of Cowboys to avoid confusion.
