History

Dalton United became members of the West Lancashire League in 1971, playing in the Second Division. In the 1975–76 season they finished as runners-up and were promoted to the First Division. In 1980–81 and 1981–82 seasons the club entered the FA Vase, reaching the first round in the latter season. They were West Lancashire League champions in the 1983–84 season and again the following season. The West Lancashire League was restructured for the 1998–99 season and the First Division was renamed the Premier Division. They were Premier Division runners-up in 1999–2000 season and again the following season. [1]

Of all the current member clubs, only Burnley United have had a longer spell playing in the Premier Division.

In October 2004 Dalton United became the first team to beat AFC Fylde since January 2003, a record that had spanned 21 months. The run finally ended when Dalton beat AFC Fylde 1–0 in a league match. [2]
