We are transitioning from our location in Wisconsin to a location in Michigan. We are in St. Ignace which most probably know as the place you board the ferry for Mackinac Island. In doing so, we drove around Green Bay and through the city of Green Bay (without any confusion this time). This got me thinking about the Packers. Were they named for the City or for the bay or was it a matter of the city being named for the bay and then the Packers for the city. I searched for the history of the Packers, but did not find an easy answer. The Packers were named for the Indian Packing plant and the appropriate decision was made to name the team the Packers after considering the Indians.
Go Vikings.
