History
The Capitals were founded in 2007, becoming the first professional women's soccer team in Puerto Rico, and the first team in the Women's Premier Soccer League to play outside of the continental United States. The club had a senior WPSL team and a junior U-17 developmental squad. Originally based in Caguas, Puerto Rico, they relocated to the city of Ponce in 2009. They folded after the 2010 season.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The whole history of civilisation is strewn with creeds and institutions which were invaluable at first, and deadly afterwards.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
“The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“What has history to do with me? Mine is the first and only world! I want to report how I find the world. What others have told me about the world is a very small and incidental part of my experience. I have to judge the world, to measure things.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
