The Packers are the last of the “small town teams” which were common in the NFL during the league’s early days of 1937 and before World War II.

They joined the American Professional Football Association (APFA), now known as the National Football League (NFL), in 1921.

The Packers have won 13 league championships (nine NFL Championships and four Super Bowls), more than any other team in NFL history; with their latest being Super Bowl XLV following their 2010 season.
