Washington Commanders History

Even the most devoted fans are often surprised to hear that the Washington Commanders (formerly known as the Washington Football Team and Washington Redskins) were founded as the Boston Braves in 1932 and are one of the original members of the NFL's Eastern Division. In 1937 they moved to Washington, where they won their first game in D.C. against the New York Giants, and have since become one of the most recognizable professional sports franchises in history, featuring multiple legendary coaches, 19 members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and one recipient of the Walter Payton Man of The Year Award, Darrell Green. A proud and storied franchise, the team has won five World Championship titles including the 1937 and 1942 National Football League Championship games, as well as Super Bowls XVII, XXII and XXVI.
