What was the Oakland Raiders original name what city did they come from?
The Raiders were always known as the Raiders although the original name they were going to be called was the "Senors" Thankfully that never came to pass. The Raiders began in Oakland and played there from 1960-1981. From 1982-until 1994 the Raiders played in Los Angeles, and since the 1995 season they have returned to Oakland, becoming the only team to ever return to the city they left. Prior to Al Davis, the principal owner of the Raiders was a man named Chet Soda. (I don't know the city they came from but I would assume it was still Oakland)
