The Geneva Cubs were a member of the
New York–Penn League. However the team can be traced back to 1947 as the
Geneva Red Birds, a member of the
Border League. The team's name changed a year later to the
Geneva Robins and was affiliated with
Brooklyn Dodgers in 1949. Geneva disbanded their team on June 26, 1951, and the rest of the league folded a few weeks later. Geneva next played in 1958, rejoining as a member of the New York–Penn League and playing as the
Geneva Redlegs, as affiliate the
Cincinnati Redlegs. The affiliation lasted until 1963, when the team was renamed the
Geneva Senators and became affiliated with the
Washington Senators. In 1969 the team briefly became the
Geneva Pirates and were affiliated with the
Pittsburgh Pirates. The team once again took up the Senators name in 1970. In 1973 the team became an affiliate of the
Minnesota Twins and were renamed the
Geneva Twins. After a four-year hiatus the team took the Cubs name and began their affiliation with the Chicago Cubs from 1977 to 1993, after which time they moved to
Williamsport, Pennsylvania. The franchise still exists today as the
Williamsport Crosscutters. ==The ballpark==
