There was another sports team in Dallas with the name Dallas Rangers which in the 60's that is what the team was called. The owners called them Dallas Cowboys to avoid confusion.

It's Texas. There used to be cowboys.

Originally they were slated to be known as the Rangers but a local minor league Baseball team was already using the name Rangers and the front office did not want to create any confusion so they went with a common Texas dweller, COWBOYS.
