## History of the Cleveland Dutch, est. 1939:

### The Columbus Dutch (1939-1981)

The Columbus Dutch were established in the Basketball Syndicate of America as one of the original 12 franchises. Brothers Clarence and Charles Hoover, both chemists, partnered with the legendary Elsie Janis to start the team in the middle of 1938. The Hoover Brothers are responsible for a water filtration and softening process that saved the lives of millions from typhoid fever. This process is used in water treatment to this very day. Elsie was a highly-successful actress and producer of the time, beginning in her childhood as a Vaudeville performer.

In an effort to honor the growing number of Dutch immigrants in addition to the Dutch Amish communities in Ohio, the Hoover Brothers and Elsie Janis agreed to name the team after the culture out of respect. Elsie Janis found this name particularly attractive, as it provided homage to her first Broadway performance in *The Vanderbilt Cup (1906)*. Due to their friendship with Elsie, some of the initial capital for the team was provided by both Harold Vanderbilt and Willie K. Vanderbilt II in an arrangement that provided them both Governor roles in the Governors' 100 Club for the first rendition of the franchise.

### The Cleveland Dutch (1981-present)

The **Columbus Dutch** moved from Columbus, Ohio to **Cleveland, Ohio** in 198, where the team was much more popular. People from Columbus call them the "Waffles" out of spite for their relocation.
