When the Baltimore Orioles moved to New York for the 1903 season the team was originally called the Highlanders because the park that they played at was built on one of the highest points on Manhatten Island. They were also called the Americans and the Yankees during their first ten years but the official name was the Highlanders. In 1913, they started playing their home games at the Polo Grounds which was located on the Harlem River. The name Highlanders lost its meaning and the name was officially changed to the Yankees.
