Cleveland Rams (1936-1945)
The Cleveland Rams were founded by attorney Homer Marshman in 1936. Their name, the Rams, comes from the nickname of Fordham University. Fordham University is a private University in the United States, with three campuses located in and around New York City. Rams was selected to honor the hard work of the players that came out of that university. They were part of the newly formed American Football League and finished the 1936 in second place with a 5-2-2 record, trailing only the 8-3 record of league champion Boston Shamrocks.
The following year the Rams joined the National Football League and were assigned the Western division to replace the St. Louis Gunners, who left the league after a three game stint in the 1934 season. The National Football League ( NFL) is the largest professional American football league.

Los Angeles Rams (1946-1994)
In 1946, Rams' owner Dan Reeves, fed up with poor attendance at Cleveland Stadium and competing against the Cleveland Browns (then members of the All-America Football Conference), moved the Rams to Los Angeles, becoming the first NFL team based on the West Coast (there had been a team called the Los Angeles Buccaneers in 1926, but they played their schedule on the road only).
