A professional minor league team played its first season in Brooklyn in 1883. This same team joined the National League in 1890. By 1895 one of their unofficial nicknames was the "Trolley Dodgers," a somewhat perjorative term for residents of Brooklyn. Other nicknames were used over the years, including Robins, Superbas, Grays, and Bridegrooms. By 1932, the team had OFFICIALLY adopted the name of "Dodgers."
So take your pick: 1883, 1890, 1895, or 1932.
