The Los Angeles Dodgers are a professional baseball team based in Los Angeles, California, United States, founded in 1883 in Brooklyn, New York, and relocated to Los Angeles in 1958, one of the most storied and successful franchises in Major League Baseball history, having won multiple World Series championships both in Brooklyn and Los Angeles. The Brooklyn Dodgers made history in 1947 when Jackie Robinson broke Major League Baseball's color barrier as the first African American player of the modern era, a milestone widely regarded as one of the most significant moments in American sports history, and the franchise has continued to be one of the sport's most consistently competitive and highest-payroll teams since relocating west.

FAQs
Why are the Dodgers called the Dodgers if they play in Los Angeles?
The name is a Brooklyn holdover kept after the 1958 move to Los Angeles.
The franchise was founded in Brooklyn in 1883 and played there until it moved to Los Angeles for the 1958 season. The team kept its Brooklyn nickname after the move, so the name comes from the New York years rather than from anything in Los Angeles.
