History
Aylesbury United were formed in 1897 with the merging of Night School FC, the Printing Works and Aylesbury Town. Wearing the traditional green and white colours still worn today, they remained an amateur club, spending the post-war years playing in the Delphian League until it disbanded in the 1960s, at which point the club joined the Athenian League until they turned semi-professional and took a place in the Southern League in 1976.
