## History of the Chicago Redliners, est. 1939:

### The Chicago Redbeans (1939-1971)

Founded in late 1938, the Chicago Redbeans basketball franchise was started under the Presidential Stewardship of Henry and Adelaide Steinbarth.

Henry Steinbarth opened a meat-market on Chicago's South Side in 1924, and slowly expanded the company into a processor of various food products, focused on servicing the disenfranchised labor of the city. One of their most popular products was the can of red beans, often served with sausage and rice.

Building on the success of this market and inspiration from a 1928 meeting with Mother Jones herself, Henry and Adelaide combined the small amount of capital they earned from their food processing company to start a basketball team in the Syndicate.

### The Chicago Redliners (1971-present)

The **Chicago Redbeans** have played all over the city of Chicago. Beginning in **1952**, they built an arena called "**The People's Harbor on Edgewater**" in the Edgewater neighborhood way up north in the city. Since most Redbean fans lived on the South side, they would often take a long train ride in the frozen Chicago winters to watch their favorite team play. Over time, the **Redbeans** became the **Redliners**, describing the dedicated fans who spent more time on the Red Line than they did at the games. The team officially adopted the name in 1971. Locals call them "**The Museums**" because they play in a neighborhood with museums.

### Location History:

The Chicago Redbeans started their franchise in Downtown, but moved to Edgewater in 1952. They've remained in the Edgewater neighborhood since, changing the team name to the Chicago Redliners before the 1971-72 season.
