Early history

The club was established in autumn 1877 as an offshoot of the local cricket club, playing their first match on 27 October 1877. [1] In 1891 they joined the Combination. They finished bottom of the league in 1895–96 and left at the end of the 1898–99 season, [2] when they switched to the Manchester League. [3] They were runners-up in 1904–05 but spent most of the next seven seasons in lower mid-table, finishing second-from-bottom on three occasions, before the league was disbanded in 1912. [3]

Buxton rejoined the Manchester League when it was re-established in 1920, and considered applying to join the new Football League Third Division North when it was formed in 1921, although they did not submit a bid. [4] They were Manchester League runners-up in 1928–29 and 1929–30 and League Cup winners in 1925–26 and 1926–27. [5] After winning the league in 1931–32, [6] they joined the Cheshire County League. [7]
