Green Bay Packers History

The Green Bay Packers were founded in 1919 by Indian Packing Company employee Earl "Curly" Lambeau and newspaperman George Whitney Calhoun. Lambeau's company provided initial sponsorship for the team. The Packers were an immediate success and were admitted to the American Professional Football Association in 1921, a predecessor to the NFL. Under famed coach Vince Lombardi, the Packers dominated during the NFL's early years in the 1960s, winning the first two Super Bowls with Hall of Fame players including Bart Starr, Jim Taylor, Ray Nitschke and Herb Adderley. The franchise saw renewed success throughout the 1990s and 2000s, including a Super Bowl victory in the 1996 season under gun-slinging quarterback Brett Favre. Succeeding quarterback Aaron Rodgers helped continue the Packers' reign of success, making the playoffs from 2009-2016 and a Super Bowl win in the 2010 season. The team is the only publicly owned major sports franchise in the United States.
