The Hawks are based in Atlanta, Georgia. They are part of the Southeast Division of the Eastern Conference in the NBA. Their origins can be traced to the establishment of the Buffalo Bisons in 1946, a member of the National Basketball League. After 13 games of their inaugural season, the team moved to Moline, Illinois and became the Tri-Cities Blackhawks. In 1949, they joined the National Basketball Association. In 1951, the team moved to Milwaukee, where they changed their name to the Hawks. They have won their only NBA Championship in 1958, after they moved to St. Louis in 1955. All the franchise's NBA Finals appearances and lone NBA championship took place when the team resided in St. Louis. The Hawks currently own the second-longest run (behind the Sacramento Kings) of not winning an NBA title at 56 years.
