History
Aside from its role as the Joliet Steel Works company team, little is known of the team’s history. In 1914, it entered the Association Football League of Chicago. In 1916, the Chicago and District Association Football League, later known as the Chicago Soccer League, replaced the AFL and Joliet jumped to the new league. Joliet F.C. won the 1918 Peel Cup, finished runner up to Pullman F.C. in 1915 and went to the semifinals of the 1917 and 1918 National Challenge Cup, losing to Bethlehem Steel F.C. both times.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“English history is all about men liking their fathers, and American history is all about men hating their fathers and trying to burn down everything they ever did.”
—Malcolm Bradbury (b. 1932)
“History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.... It is not “history” which uses men as a means of achieving—as if it were an individual person—its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“Modern Western thought will pass into history and be incorporated in it, will have its influence and its place, just as our body will pass into the composition of grass, of sheep, of cutlets, and of men. We do not like that kind of immortality, but what is to be done about it?”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
