The Braves franchise has played in Atlanta, Georgia since 1966. They have played in two other cities under five different franchise names: 

Boston Red Stockings 1871-1882
Boston Beaneaters 1883-1906
Boston Doves 1907- 1910
Boston Rustlers 1911
Boston Braves 1912-1935
Boston Bees    1936-1940
Boston Braves 1941-1952
Milwaukee Braves 1953-1965
Atlanta Braves            1966-present

The Braves won 14 consecutive National League Division Titles between 1991 and 2005. The total included 11 Eastern Division Titles from 1995 to 2005, preceded by 3 Western Division Titles from 1991 to 1993 prior to the 1994 players strike. Despite this, the Braves won only a single the World Series Championship during this period, beating the Cleveland Indians over 6 games (4-2) in 1995.

They also won the World Series as the Boston Braves in 1914 and the Milwaukee Braves in 1957 (becoming the first team to win the Series after relocating). Their 1995 win saw them become the only franchise to have won the World Series in three different home cities.
