The National League is the older of the two leagues. The NL was born in 1876, while the American League came along in 1901.
Thus the term "Senior Circuit."

Because it is the older of the two leagues. NL formed in 1876, AL in 1901.

Its been around longer. The American League was born in 1901, while the National - if I'm not mistaken - was established in the 1880's.
