The Baltimore Orioles franchise was originally founded as the Milwaukee Brewers in 1894. The Brewers became a major league team in 1901 when their league—the renamed American League—was elevated to major league status. They moved to St. Louis, Missouri, in 1902 and became known as the Browns. In 1954 the Browns moved to Baltimore and took on the traditional nickname of Baltimore baseball teams, the Orioles.
