Based in Muncie, Indiana, the Flyers evolved from the Congerville Athletic Club, which dates back to at least 1905.  In 1910, the Club finished with a 10–0–1 record, outscoring their opponents 145 to 0.  The Congerville Athletic Club team and the Congerville Flyers team merged in 1916, and Muncie was represented by the Congerville Flyers.  In 1920, the Flyers were one of the 14 original teams which established the American Professional Football Association.
