The Los Angeles Angels' Historical Monikers

The official website of the Los Angeles Angels with the most up-to-date information on scores, schedule, stats, tickets, and team news. — www.mlb.com

The Los Angeles Angels, currently soaring high in baseball, have donned several names throughout their rich history. Let's take a quick flight through their moniker evolution:

1961-1965: Los Angeles Angels: Starting their journey in the City of Angels, they carried the city's name with pride.

1966-1996: California Angels: As they moved to Anaheim Stadium, they embraced the wider Californian identity.

1997-2004: Anaheim Angels: Under The Walt Disney Company's ownership, the focus shifted back to their Anaheim home.

2005-2015: Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim: This name change aimed to leverage Los Angeles' larger market while acknowledging their Anaheim roots.

2016-present: Los Angeles Angels: Finally, they dropped the "of Anaheim," solidifying their identity as the Los Angeles Angels once again.

This journey reflects the franchise's evolving relationship with its surrounding areas. They started in one city, expanded their reach, then pivoted back, ultimately settling on a broader identity anchored in Los Angeles.
