The Charlotte Hornets were established in 1988 as an expansion team in the National Basketball Association. The team remained in Charlotte until 2002, when original owner George Shinn relocated the franchise to New Orleans under the same name. Two years later, the NBA established the Charlotte Bobcats as another expansion franchise in the city.
The New Orleans Hornets and Charlotte Bobcats co-existed in the NBA until 2013 when New Orleans rebranded itself as the Pelicans, returning the Hornets name, along with the official history, back to Charlotte. That history dates from 1988-2002, so the Charlotte Hornets franchise officially dates from 1988-2002, and then from 2004-present because the Charlotte Bobcats were officially renamed to the Hornets ahead of the 2014-15 season, with all team history remaining with the Charlotte name.
