The San Jose Earthquakes, originally founded in 1974 and later reborn in 1996 as one of MLS’s charter franchises, have built a legacy featuring early championships, star players, and a passionate fan culture in Northern California. The early 2000s brought the franchise’s golden era under coach Frank Yallop, with U.S. legend Landon Donovan, forward Brian Ching, and midfielder Dwayne De Rosario leading San Jose to MLS Cup titles in 2001 and 2003. Donovan’s scoring and De Rosario’s midfield creativity made the Quakes one of MLS’s most feared teams before the club’s 2006 relocation to Houston, where its roster became the foundation of the Houston Dynamo’s early championships. The Earthquakes returned as an expansion team in 2008, with striker Chris Wondolowski becoming the club’s all-time icon and MLS’s all-time leading goal scorer, winning the 2012 MVP award while leading San Jose to the Supporters’ Shield. Known for dramatic comebacks nicknamed the “Goonies never say die” era, the Quakes built a reputation for resilience and late-game heroics. Recent years have featured Mexican international Javier “Chofis” López and young talents like Cade Cowell, aiming to return the club to playoff prominence under new coaching leadership. From early championships to Wondolowski’s record-breaking career, San Jose’s history blends success, drama, and a loyal Bay Area fan base.
