History

The club was formed as Barton Town Old Boys Football Club in 1995 as a result of a merger between Barton Town and Barton Old Boys,[2] with the new club taking Barton Town's place in the Lincolnshire League. After finishing fourth in the league in their first season, they won the Lincolnshire League the following season, and then finished as runners-up in both 1997–98 and 1998–99.[2]

In 2000 the club switched to the Humber Premier League, where they played for a single season before joining the Premier Division of the Central Midlands League.

In 2017 the club was renamed Barton Town. They won the League Cup in 2021–22, defeating Garforth Town 3–2 in the final.[3]
