George Halas Hall of Fame career began in Decatur
The 1920 Decatur Staleys with legendary player/coach George Halas, front row, center. The team would move to Chicago the next year and become the Bears in 1922.
George Halas is forever Papa Bear, the man who founded the Chicago Bears as the Decatur Staleys in 1920.
Company teams, particularly baseball, were common in the early 20th century, as wealthy owners sought a certain prestige for their firms. A.E. Staley Sr. was no exception, but he also had his eye on a new sport â football. Halas moved to Decatur and lived at 280 W. William St., according to the city s street directory.

The Oregon Heritage Commission, the State Library of Oregon, and Washington State Library teamed up on the project. It allows libraries, museums, and cultural heritage groups to digitize and share their collections for a wider audience than they’d receive individually.
“So it’s very easy and accessible by the everyday public or researcher or historian, that wants to look for information, explained Katie Henry is coordinator for the Oregon Heritage Commission. Being a service hub for the Digital Public Libraries of America, it’s a national platform. So Oregon’s great history can be accessed by people across the entire nation.”
