The city was founded by members of the Mormon church in 1853 as a center for trade and commerce on the Santa Fe Trail. It soon became an important manufacturing center and emerged as one of America's leading banking and finance centers during the late 19th century. In 1904, Kansas City became home to two professional sports teams: baseball's Kansas City Blues (now called the Royals) and football's Chiefs (now called the Rams). The Blues played their home games at Municipal Stadium from 1911 to 1973; they moved to Kauffman Stadium in 1974. The Chiefs played their home games at Arrowhead Stadium from 1960 to 2013 before moving to Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, KS for 2016 season onwards
