Incorrect.

1899

Chris O'Brien formed a neighborhood team, which played under the name the Morgan Athletic Club, on the south side of Chicago. The team later became known as the Normals, then the Racine (for a street in Chicago) Cardinals, the Chicago Cardinals, the St. Louis Cardinals, the Phoenix Cardinals, and, in 1994, the Arizona Cardinals. The team remains the oldest continuing operation in pro football.

They changed their name several times but the Cardinals are the oldest, followed by the Bears (1919) and Packers (1921). The Cardinals and Bears both originated in the Midwest and are charter members of the league.
