Launched in 1888 by the The Football Association as the Football League, the competition gave way in 1992 to the Premier League, whose official name is the Barclays Premier League since 2004.
The English premier league was formed in season 1992/1993
There are currently 20 teams in the Premier League. The League originally had 22 teams when it was formed in 1992, but this was dropped to 20 in 1995.
The Premier League used to be called the Football League First Division but in 1992 the teams in the Premier League branched off from this championship. There is really no reason that the Premier League is called the Premier League other than Premier meaning good and needing to incorporate "League" in the name. Note that at the moment the Premier League is called the Barclays Premier League because of sponsorship (Barclays being the bank.)
The Arcadia Shepherds won the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) in 1992. The Kaizer Chiefs won the National Soccer League (NSL) in 1992. The two teams merged in 1996 to form the Premier Soccer League.
Arsenal, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have been ever-present in the Premier League since its inception in 1992.
There are 20 teams in the Premier League of England (otherwise known as Barclays Premiere League or English Premier League).

The twenty teams playing in the Premier League for the 2014-2015 season are Arsenal, Aston Villa, Burnley, Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Everton, Hull City, Leicester City, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Newcastle United, Queens Park Rangers, Southampton, Stoke City, Sunderland, Swansea City, Tottenham Hotspur, West Bromwich Albion, and West Ham United.
