The Washington Nationals are a professional baseball team based in Washington, D.C. The Nationals are a member of the Eastern Division of the National League of Major League Baseball.

The club was founded as the Montreal Expos, in Montreal, Quebec in 1969 as an expansion franchise, and joined the National League in the same year (together with the San Diego Padres). They were the first Major League Baseball team in Canada. Named after the Expo 67 World’s Fair, the Expos’ initial home was Jarry Park. The team lost 110 games in their first season, and continued to struggle during their first decade with sub-.500 seasons. In 1977 the team changed venues to Montreal’s Olympic Stadium, built for the 1976 Summer Olympics. Two years later they achieved their best season so far, winning 95 games and taking second place in the National League East.

After being purchased by Major League Baseball in 2002, the team was moved to Washington before the 2005 season and renamed the Nationals. This was the first complete name change for a relocating team in Major League Baseball since 1972, when the Washington Senators left D.C. to become the Texas Rangers.

The Nationals name derives from the two former Washington baseball teams which had the same name (used interchangeably with Senators). Their nickname is “the Nats” – a shortened version that was also used by the old D.C. teams. The team moved into the newly-built Nationals Park in 2008, after playing their first three seasons in RFK Stadium. The new park is located in Southeast D.C. near the Anacostia River and with views of the Capitol.

The franchise is one of three teams (along with the Rangers and Seattle Mariners) never to have played in a World Series. As the Montreal Expos, the team won a division championship, and advanced to the National League Championship Series in their only playoff appearance during the strike-shortened 1981 season.
