They were created in 1893 as the minor league franchise of the city of Toledo, Ohio in the Western League ( Western League ). They moved to Boston when this league became the American League in 1900.

The Red Sox name was chosen by owner John I. Taylor in the 1907 season and is based on an obsolete way of calling socks in the United States. Boston's former National League team (the Braves) had originally been called the Red Stockings and had worn red socks, which inspired the owner of the American League team to use this nickname. Before 1908, the American League team wore dark blue socks and had no official nickname. They were simply called the Bostons ( the Bostons ) or the Boston Baseball Club .
