Originally playing friendlies, the club joined the Kent League in the early 20th century. Despite disbanding during World War II, the club was reformed in 1947 as Faversham Town and adopted their iconic 'lilywhite' shirts. The club has faced ups and downs over the years, with periods of success in the 1970s, 80s, and 90s, including a victory in the 2000 Kent League Challenge Cup.

However, thanks to the dedication and support of local supporters and businessmen, Faversham Town Football Club was revived in 2005. Volunteers worked tirelessly to renovate the stadium, allowing the club to make a triumphant comeback. The team achieved promotion to the Kent League in their first season back and went on to win the league title in 2010, earning them a place in the semi-professional Isthmian League, the highest level in the club's history.
