Team History
The Detroit Pistons basketball franchise was founded as the Zollner Pistons in 1943, the darkest days of World War II, by Fred Zoller, owner of the Zollner Corporation, a foundry that manufactured pistons. After the war the team changed its name to the Fort Wayne Pistons and joined the Basketball Association of America (BAA), which merged with the rival National Basket Ball League to form the National Basketball Association, the NBA, in 1949. The Pistons enjoyed a solid fan base in Fort Wayne, but as the popularity of pro ball soared it became clear the team could fill the larger arenas of the big cities. Zollner moved the team to Detroit in 1957. . The new Detroit Pistons played in Olympia Stadium, home to the NHL’s Detroit Red Wingsfranchise. In 1961 the Pistons moved to Cobo Arena.
