When was the team founded?

Asked a year ago
The Houston Astros were founded in 1962 as the Houston Colt .45s, initially playing their home games at Colt Stadium. The franchise was established to bring Major League Baseball to Houston, Texas. In 1965, the team changed its name to the Houston Astros, symbolizing the city's connection to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the booming aerospace industry in Houston. This new name marked the Astros' transition into the iconic orange, navy blue, and white color scheme. Over the years, the team has made significant achievements, including winning the World Series in 2017. With a rich history and dedicated fanbase, the Houston Astros continue to thrive as a beloved baseball team.
