The Phillies that we know and love today is a transplanted major leauge team. Where did they move from and what was the team nickname?

PS Not only were they the Quakers pre-1890, in the late teens they reverted to the Quakers again. In the '40s they tried to change the team nickname to the Blue Jays but it never caught on (this is why you often see Blue Jays on pennants and programs from the '40s). Been the Phillies ever since.
