Best Answer

Since you didn't specify ...

The Texas Rangers (oldest law enforcement agency in North America) was founded in 1823 by Stephen Austin. They were called rangers because of the vast amount of territory they had to ride their horses.

The Texas Rangers Baseball team formed in 1972 but had evolved from originally being the Washington Senators (1961-1971).

The Texas Rangers baseball team that exists today began in 1971. However, prior to that the now-Texas Rangers were an expansion team in Washington, D.C. -- the Washington Senators, a team that was awarded to D.C. as result of the previous Washington Senators team moving to Minneapolis to become the Minnesota Twins.

They were the Washington Senators from 1961-1971. Then became the Texas Rangers in 1972-Present Day. So they were established in 1961 but had a name change.
