History
The club was formed in 1961 as Kettering Park Wanderers. They joined Division Two of the United Counties League in 1968, which became Division One in 1972.[2] The club adopted their current name in 1973.[2] After finishing second-from-bottom of Division One in 1977–78, they were relegated to Division Two. However, the division was disbanded two years later and they were returned to Division One.[3] In 1988–89 they were Division One runners-up, earning promotion to the Premier Division. Two seasons later they finished bottom of the Premier Division and were relegated back to Division One.[3] They have since remained in Division One, only finishing in the top half on four occasions and finishing bottom of the division in 1988–99, for five consecutive seasons betwern 2001–02 and 2005–06, and again in 2012–13 and 2015–16.
