I have an idea for some of them, but I was always curious about which and how many teams were around in the days of the 1930s and 40s.

If you're talkikng about the first true professional league in 1920, then the original teams were:
Akron Pros, Decatur Staleys, Buffalo All-Americans, Chicago Cardinals, Rock Island Independents, Dayton Triangles, Rochester Jeffersons, Canton Bulldogs, Detroit Heralds, Cleveland Tigers, Chicago Tigers, Hammond Pros, Columbus Panhandles, Muncie Flyers
If you want to check how the league progressed, and really assumed a manageable form in 1933, go to the NFL's website, where you can also look up each team's history.

I do know that one of the first NFL teams was the Canton Bulldogs.
Canton, OH, as you know, is the home of the NFL Hall of Fame.
