Yes. The time which included the dinosaurs is known as the "Mesozoic Era," which means "the time of Middle Life," distinguishing it from the "Paleozoic" or Ancient Life and the "Cenozoic" or Recent Life, which is the Era in which we live.

The Mesozoic has three Periods, called the Triassic, the Jurassic and the Cretaceous. During the first, the Triassic, dinosaurs were mostly small and were in tight competition with the ancestors of the mammals. By the Jurassic, the dinosaurs had "won" and grown in some cases huge (there are always smaller versions) while the mammals were forced into the margins and remained tiny.
