Arsenal were founded as Dial Square in 1886 by workers at the Royal Arsenal in Woolwich, but were renamed Royal Arsenal shortly afterwards. They renamed themselves again to Woolwich Arsenal after turning professional in 1891. The club joined the Football League in 1893, starting out in the Second Division, and won promotion to the First Division in 1904. However, the club's geographic isolation resulted in lower attendances than those of other clubs, which led to the club becoming mired in financial problems. In 1913, soon after relegation back to the Second Division, they moved across the Thames to the new Arsenal Stadium in Highbury, North London. They dropped "Woolwich" from their name the following year, thus becoming one of only two Football League teams not named after a place, the other being Port Vale. (info from Wikipedia) -
What about Charlton? AFAIK, there is no suburb in London by that name.Originally posted by Xtrider:arsenal is the only team in epl not names after the neighbourhood or regional area rite? ya man i also wonder who came out with the name...
Crystal Palace got its name from the Sydenham Expo ground.
Aston Villa may have something to do with Birmingham's Aston University. -
