The team's original home, Brooklyn, had many trolleys on its streets that pedestrians had to Dodge. Originally from Brooklyn, New York, the team was known in the late 19th century as the Brooklyn Superbas. Because Brooklyn had so many trolley cars, fans nicknamed the team "the trolley dodgers." The name Dodgers stuck, and the team officially adopted it in 1913. They brought it along with them when they moved to Los Angeles in 1958.
