Knaresborough Town Football Club are an English football club from the North Yorkshire town of Knaresborough, their exact foundation date is unknown but records show that they were an active club prior to 1902.
Most notably the club featured in the Northern League for two seasons, during the early 1900s. They are currently playing in the Northern Counties East League Division One.
The club were very successful in the York Football League during their early days under the name Knaresborough Football Club, winning the championship in 1902–03, 1903–04 and 1904–05, the latter of which was achieved with a 100% record.
Due to their good form, they were invited into the Northern League, where they competed against teams such as York City and Scarborough. They finished 9th in their first season in the league, one place behind Scarborough, and above York City. The following season they were relegated and re-joined the York Football League in the 1911–12. Not long after the club fell into more problems and were suspended for the 1913–14 season.
After World War I Knaresborough returned to the York League and won it by 1924–25, repeating the success the following season. For the rest of the 1920s, the club battled out for the championship with Selby Olympia and Northumberland Fusiliers; Knaresborough were able to win the league one more time before the end of the decade.
The club resigned in 1930, but were back two seasons later under the name Knaresborough Town Football Club, this is the name they use today. Their return was emphatic only a season after returning; they had undefeated season and won a clean sweep of everything they entered, including; the York League, the Faber Cup, the Whitworth Cup and the Harrogate Charity Cup.
