The club was founded in 1908 by a local teacher to serve the community of West Didsbury and originally played at Shorts Farm in Rusholme. After relocating several times, it settled at its current Brookburn Road ground in Chorlton in the late 1990s, where it remains today.

The club established a women's team in 2017 by taking over a local side, and it has since developed successfully and won its division. This reflects the club's commitment to equal opportunities and growing women's football in the area.
