Chicago Bears history
Before the Bears, there were the Decatur Staleys, a company team for the A. E. Staley starch business, formed in Decatur, Illinois, on September 20, 1919. They went pro on September 17, 1920, as founding members of the league that became the NFL, moved to Chicago in 1921 and took the Bears name in 1922.
Wrigley Field on the North Side was home through 1970, and Soldier Field, next to Lake Michigan, has been home since. Chicago has nine NFL championships, eight from before the merger and one Super Bowl. No team has more Hall of Fame members or retired numbers. Only Green Bay, its longtime rival, has more titles and total wins.
