The Ravens were created in 1996 when [[Cleveland Browns]] owner Art Modell decided to move the Browns from [[Cleveland]], [[Ohio]], to Baltimore; however, as part of the move, all Browns team records remained in Cleveland, and were not part of the new franchise's history. The team name comes from the famous poem "[[The Raven]]", written by the American poet [[Edgar Allan Poe]], who was from Baltimore. | The Ravens were created in 1996 when [[Cleveland Browns]] owner Art Modell decided to move the Browns from [[Cleveland]], [[Ohio]], to Baltimore; however, as part of the move, all Browns team records remained in Cleveland, and were not part of the new franchise's history.
