1950s
Sometime after receiving the power ring, Abin Sur broke the Guardians' quarrantine of Ysmault to rescue the survivors of a crashed Ungaran spaceship. The entombed demons offered assistance to Abin, enticing him to free them. One of the demons, Qull of the Five Inversions, promised to give the answers to any three questions, free of charge. The first of Qull's answers gave Abin Sur the location of the sole survivor of the crash, a young Ungaran girl. Her ankle was broken but she was otherwise unharmed. Abin Sur returned to ask the second of his three questions. The second question dealt with the fate of Abin Sur himself. According to Qull, Abin Sur would die when his power ring failed him at a critical instant. He went on to tell the Ungaran Green Lantern of his successor, who would be the greatest of the Green Lantern Corps, eclipsing the achievements of Abin Sur. The third question concerned the final battle of the Green Lantern Corps. After untold millennia, The Weaponers of Qward, Ranx the Sentient City, the Children of the White Lobe, and the Empire of Tears would rise united against the Green Lantern Corps.Sodam Yat, a Daxamite hailed as the ultimate Green Lantern, would perish battling the lobe-spawn. The planet-form Green Lantern named Mogo would be the last to fall as Ranx the sentient city explodes a blink-bomb within his core. Abin Sur scoffed at this notion, believing Qull's stories to be the product of a diseased mind bent on revenge. He left Ysmault with the young Ungaran girl, planning to forget all that the demon had spoken about. Beyond his hearing, the demons laughed for nineteen weeks. They had broken the Green Lantern. Away from the demons, Abin Sur thought hard on what Qull of the Five Inversions had said. Consulting his power ring, Abin Sur decided to travel by starship in order to conserve the ring's energy on longer missions. He first used a starship during his battle with the Larifars of Pendara. The Empire of Tears had sown the seeds of doubt in the Green Lantern's mind.

Once considered one of the greatest of the Green Lanterns, Sinestro of Korugar had the most orderly sector in all of known space. Unfortunately, that order came with a price. He recognized the potential of the Green Lantern Corps, but over time came to believe the Guardians of the Universe did not go far enough to bring order to the stars. Sinestro ruled Space Sector 1417 with an iron fist, and had set himself up a dictator of his homeworld. The people of Korugar did not love him as he claimed, they feared him. Sinestro sees his sense of order come crashing down due in no small part to the involvement of a rookie lantern he is assigned to mentor, the Green Lantern of Space Sector 2814, Hal Jordan of Earth. The two Green Lanterns eventually become friends but when Sinestro is revealed as a tyrant, the Green Lantern of Korugar is stripped of his power ring and insignia and expelled from the Corps. Banished to the anti-matter universe of Qward, Sinestro sets himself on a path to reclaim his power and wreak vengeance on the Guardians and the Green Lantern Corps who he believes had turned against him. Allying himself with the Weaponers of Qward, Sinestro forges a new, yellow power ring. His earliest battles are with Hal Jordan, who he offers the chance to join him against the Guardians.

The name stuck for years, and over time, the name Superfriends was used to describe all members of the Justice League of America.
In the first issue of the SuperFriends comic book, E. Nelson Bridwell makes it very clear that the SuperFriends are sort of a volunteer organization, under the umbrella of the Justice League of America.
The founding members of the Justice League's Superfriends organization consisted of Aquaman, Batman, Robin, Superman, Wonder Woman, Hawkman, the Flash, Green Lantern, Black Vulcan and Samurai.
The formation of team and members depicted in the Season 3 episode, History of Doom.

In the parallel universe of Earth-One the Justice League's headquarters were an orbiting satellite. This was depicted in Justice League of America, Vol. 1 #78 //(February, 1970)// found at the DC Database.

Mid 1970's
Sometime in the mid 70’s, the Super Friends faced their greatest “challenge” when they encountered a collaboration of villains known as the Legion of Doom. Led by criminal mastermind Lex Luthor, these super-villains sought for nothing less than total domination of the planet Earth. To accomplish this objective however, they first had to vanquish the Super Friends. They also brought in another hero unique to this reality, Apache Chief.
Luthor and his allies, which included such notable villains as Brainiac, Bizarro, Grodd and Sinestro, often used highly advanced weapons and devices to capture the Super Friends, but invariably, the heroes always triumphed. It is during this time that both the Legion and the League encounter the Master Programmer in the form of a witch, and are unaware of this fact.
