The Phillies were founded on June 13, 1883, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as the Baltimore Orioles. They changed their name to the Pittsburgh Pirates after only one season because of concerns about competing with the National League's Chicago Pirates. The Pirates moved to Philadelphia in 1884 and became an immediate success, winning 93 games in their inaugural season. The team went on to win four more NL titles before moving to South Philly in 1890. They finished last three seasons there before returning to North Philly in 1896. The team has never left Philadelphia for any longer than one season.

The modern version of the Phillies debuted in 1940 and have not missed the postseason since then. They currently play in Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia's Center City district.
The Phillies have been winners of at least one championship prize per season since their first season and today represent one of the eight original National League clubs. Their 1980 world title was the first for the city and the first for any baseball team from the Pennsylvania region.
