The Cowboys were an expansion team that began play in the NFL in 1960. They have always played in Dallas. * NFL Franchise - Clint Murchison, Jr., and Bedford Wynne were awarded an expansion franchise in the NFL at the annual league meeting in Miami Beach, Fla. The Cowboys were to play as a "swing" team, playing every other team one time during the first season, although listed in the Western Conference standing (January 28)

The Cowboys have always played in Dallas since their first year as an NFL expansion team in 1960. The Dallas Texans of the American Football League also began playing in 1960, but eventually moved to Kansas City, Missouri and were renamed the Chiefs.

The Dallas Texans were an AFL team owned by Lamar Hunt. They won the AFL championship in 1962, but then moved to Kansas City in 1963 to become the Chiefs. The Dallas Cowboys were an NFL expansion team that started play in 1961. The City of Dallas couldn't support two pro football teams, so in 1963, the Texans moved to Kansas City and became the Chiefs. They went on to win Super Bowl IV in 1970.

No. Since 1960, the Dallas Cowboys have always been the National Football League's expansion team in Texas. The Dallas Texans were an American Football League team, but they moved in 1963 and became the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs were the last AFL team to win a Super Bowl before the league merged with the NFL in 1970.
