Kansas City Monarchs


 

The Kansas City Monarchs were the longest-running franchise in the history of baseball's Negro Leagues. Operating in Kansas City, Missouri and owned by J.L. Wilkinson, they were charter members of the Negro National League from 1920 to 1930. After barnstorming for several years, the team joined the Negro American League in 1937, and played in the league until it dissolved in 1960. The Monarchs were finally disbanded in 1962.
