The Dallas Cowboys were founded in 1960 by Clint Murchison, Jr., and Bedford Wynne. The team was named after Murchison's oil company, the Dallas Cowboys Oil Company. The Cowboys were one of eight expansion teams that joined the NFL in 1960, along with the Houston Oilers, Minnesota Vikings, San Diego Chargers, Denver Broncos, Buffalo Bills, Oakland Raiders, and Miami Dolphins.

The Cowboys' early years were marked by struggles. The team did not win a playoff game until 1967, and it did not reach the Super Bowl until 1971. However, the Cowboys quickly became one of the most dominant teams in the NFL in the 1970s. Under the leadership of head coach Tom Landry and quarterback Roger Staubach, the Cowboys won three Super Bowls in a four-year span from 1971 to 1974.
