[edit] History
The club was formed in 1948 by the amalgamation of two local sides, Boreham Rovers and Royal Retournez. In 1966, after playing in such leagues as the Mid-Herts League and Parthenon League, they joined the Athenian League, where two promotions took them to the top division, where they were champions in 1973-74. After this the team joined the Isthmian League.
In 1977 they reached the Isthmian League Premier Division, and they were to bounce between the top two divisions on a number of occasions over the next 27 years. In 2004 a re-organisation of the pyramid saw them move to the Southern Football League Eastern Division, which they won in 2005-06, but further re-organisation in 2006 saw them promoted to the Isthmian League Premier Division rather than the Southern League's equivalent.
In 2010 Boreham Wood won the Isthmian League Premier Division play off final to obtain promotion to the Conference South for the first time in their history.
