[edit] History
They were established in the summer of 1939 and played in the Middlesex Senior League until they joined the Corinthian League in the 1946-47 season.
Their biggest success in the following years came in 1947-48, when they won the Middlesex Senior Cup and reached the final of the London Senior Cup.
The name of the club was changed to Edgware F.C. in 1972, and back to Edgware Town in 1987.
In 2006-07 Edgware Town enjoyed their most successful season in the club's 68 year history, winning an unprecedented treble of trophies, the Spartan South Midlands League Premier Division (thus earning promotion to the Isthmian League Division One North for 2007-08), the Spartan South Midlands Football League Premier Cup, and the Spartan South Midlands Football Challenge Trophy.
After playing for 68 years at the White Lion Ground in Edgware, the freehold of the ground was sold to Barrett Homes in 2007. The club's main financial sponsor then decided to stop funding the club and the club announced that it would have to close since it could not afford to continue paying the rent on the ground after December 2007. The sale subsequently fell through, but shortly after the end of the season the club announced that for financial reasons they would have to resign from the Isthmian League. [1]
