It was established in the year 1960 and was part of the American Football League which had also recently formed during the time. It was allowed a place in the AFL after a team based in Minneapolis, which was unnamed at the time, had switched to the National Football League. As a result of this move, the Oakland Raiders were in pole position to get a place in the AFL and were granted the spot shortly after. As it was now part of the newly formed league, it had also adopted the inaugural draft selections from the Minneapolis based team it replaced. Once the draft selections were taken care of, the team began playing the AFL and was part of the league’s inaugural season in the year 1960.

The Oakland Raiders did not have the best of starts in their history as they did not fare well in their first three seasons. They were struggling on the field of play and were facing a very tough time off the field as well. In order to tackle these problems, the team brought in a new coach and general manager in 1963. The person that was selected for the job was one who would later on become on the team’s biggest legends; Al Davis. Up until the merger of the National Football League with the American Football League in 1970, the team saw a major upturn in fortunes on and off the field. Under the stewardship of Al Davis, the Oakland Raiders were crowned champions of their division for three consecutive years starting from 1967 and continuing on towards 1969. They were also the proud winners of the league championship in 1967, a trophy which was their first major piece of silverware. They also had the honor of competing in second Super Bowl in the following year. Under the NFL, after the merger took place, the Raiders were allotted to the West Division of the American Football Conference.

Ever since the merger and continuing on until 2002, the Oakland Raiders established themselves as one of the front runners in the NFL.
