The Texas Rangers were originally The Washington Senators. However, they were not the original Washington Senators; the original Washington Senators became the Minnesota Twins. Now if you are talking about the law enforcement Rangers. They were organized as police force in Texas. The first members were "minutemen" hired by U.S. settlers as protection against Indian attacks in the 1835. They did not wear uniforms or salute their officers but were highly disciplined and known for their marksmanship. At their peak in the 1870s, the Rangers brought Law and Order to hundreds of miles of Texas frontier. In 1935 they were merged with the state highway patrol. They handle investigations in the state much like the FBI does in the country.
