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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Like their personal lives, women’s history is fragmented, interrupted; a shadow history of human beings whose existence has been shaped by the efforts and the demands of others.”
—Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913)
“To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“In the history of the United States, there is no continuity at all. You can cut through it anywhere and nothing on this side of the cut has anything to do with anything on the other side.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
