The Green Bay Packers, founded in 1919, are a professional American football team based in Green Bay, Wisconsin. They compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member of the NFC North Division and are one of the most storied franchises in the league, known for their passionate fanbase, iconic history, and record of success. Often referred to as the “Pack,” they hold a unique place in the hearts of football fans due to their small-town origin and community-owned structure.
The Packers were founded by Curly Lambeau and George Calhoun. The team was originally sponsored by the Indian Packing Company, which gave them their now-famous name. Curly Lambeau, a former Notre Dame football player, initially gathered funds from local businesses to start the team. From its earliest days, the Packers were embraced by the Green Bay community and quickly established themselves as a competitive force in professional football.
The Packers joined the American Professional Football Association (APFA) in 1921, the league that would later become the NFL. After a rough start, including a brief suspension from the league, the Packers were reinstated in 1922 and gradually built a reputation for excellence. Lambeau played a key role in establishing the team’s identity and led them to multiple championships, coaching the team until 1949.
