Launched in 1888 by the The Football Association as the Football League, the competition gave way in 1992 to the Premier League, whose official name is the Barclays Premier League since 2004.
Arsenal Football Club is an English Premier League football club based in Holloway , London. One of the most successful clubs in English football, it has won 13 First Division and Premier League titles and 10 FA Cups
The Premier League used to be called the Football League First Division but in 1992 the teams in the Premier League branched off from this championship. There is really no reason that the Premier League is called the Premier League other than Premier meaning good and needing to incorporate "League" in the name. Note that at the moment the Premier League is called the Barclays Premier League because of sponsorship (Barclays being the bank.)
The first team to do that in the Premier League was Chelsea.
Since the creation of the Premier League in 1992, Leicester City F.C. have never won the Premier League. The closest Leicester City F.C. have come to winning the league competition in the top flight of English Football was in the 1928-1929 season of the Football League First Division, when they were runners-up behind The Wednesday.
Manchester united were the first to win the premier league in 1992/1993 and the first to get a treble of the 3 major trophies, Premier league, F.A cup and Champions league in 1999 when Ole Gunner Solskjar scored in the last minuit against Bayern Munich.
Wigan Athletic were relegated from the Premier League for the first time, after an eight-season tenure in the league, at the end of the 2012-13 season.
As they are the record holders for most first division wins in the English Football Association... no.
Arsenal
Nobody.
The first Premier League season was 1992/3
Northern Premier League First Division was created in 1987.
