The Ashford Railway Works football club (the more commonly used name of the S.E and C.R. Ashford Works F.C.) was founded in 1907. They played their matches at the Railway Works Ground, off Newtown Road, Ashford. Many of its members were drawn from the ranks of skilled engineers from the Ashford railway works and led to the team acquiring the nickname the ‘Nuts and Bolts'. After the 1920s the team began to be known as simply Ashford. They played in the original East Kent League, Kent League (with significant success in Division 2 East) and also the Folkestone and District Senior League. The club discontinued in 1928.

Founded in 1930 Ashford F.C. were elected to the Kent League. They began playing at the Railway Works ground and then moved to the newly acquired Essella Park ground. On the sale of that facility in 1987 they ground-shared for two years at Cheriton Road, Folkestone before returning to Ashford and the new purpose built Homelands stadium. From the 1950–1951 season the club began to style itself as Ashford Town Football Club rather than Ashford Football Club. The team were 1948-49 Kent League Champions and after that league disbanded in 1959 they joined the Southern League. As a result of the re-organisation of the structure of non-League football in 2004 the team was allocated to the Isthmian League. Owing to unpaid football debts the club was suspended by The Football Association from competition in 2010. As a result of a dispute between the club's Directors it went into financial administration and the club was wound up.
