when AFL first began, it was only played in the one Australian state of Victoria, so it used to simply be called the VFL or Victorian football league. then they expanded the game into a nationwide competition and it became the AFL or austrlain football league. there's still a VFL which is a smaller Victorian based league that the coaches of AFL teams go to and watch to pick up new recruits for the major AFL teams. hope this answers your question :) P.S. I'm an Aussie, so I'm not making it up lol.
The first AFL game was played in Boston at Nickerson Field (on the campus of Boston University and formerly Braves Field) on a Saturday night. Bob Dee, a Defensive End for the Patriots out of Holy Cross, scored the first AFL points when he recovered a fumble or forced a safety. The game was in early September 1960
