editIn 1907, the Terrell Red Stockings became members of the 1907 four–team, Class D level North Texas League.[1] The Corsicana Oilers, Greenville Hunters and Paris Athletics joined Terrell in beginning league play on April 30, 1907.[2][3]
The "Red Stockings" team name corresponded to the red stirrups with their uniforms.[4]

In 1916, the Terrell Red Stockings were succeeded in minor league play by the Terrell Cubs, who began play as members of the Class D level Central Texas League.[9][10][8]
