Arsenal was founded in 1886 as Dial Square F.C., changing their name to Woolwich Arsenal, then Royal Arsenal, before reverting back to Woolwich Arsenal. They played in the second division from 1893-1904, when they were promoted to the first division. They were relegated and remained down from 1913 to 1919, but they have remained in England's top division since then. They changed their name to The Arsenal during that last stint in the second division. Managed by Herbert Chapman, they won three FA cups and dropped the "The" from their name, becoming just "Arsenal F.C.".
