Hitchin Town Football Club is a semi-professional English football club based in Hitchin, Hertfordshire. Established in 1865, it is one of the oldest surviving football clubs in the world, with a rich history that spans over 150 years. The club is known for its distinctive yellow and green colours, and its nickname, "The Canaries."
The club's early years were marked by success in local and regional competitions. In 1905, Hitchin Town moved to its current home ground, Top Field, which is one of the oldest continuously used football grounds in the world. The club has a long-standing rivalry with local teams, particularly Stevenage FC, with their matches known as the North Hertfordshire derby.
Hitchin Town has spent most of its history in the Southern League, a regional league in the English football system. The club's most successful period came in the 1960s, when it reached the first round of the FA Cup several times and won the Southern League Cup in 1961.
Despite facing financial difficulties and threats of eviction from Top Field in the 2010s, Hitchin Town has remained a vital part of the local community. The club is known for its strong youth development program, which has produced several players who have gone on to play in the Football League and Premier League.
In recent years, Hitchin Town has continued to compete in the Southern League Premier Division Central, the seventh tier of English football. The club has also enjoyed success in the FA Trophy, reaching the quarter-finals in 2019.
Hitchin Town FC is more than just a football club; it is a symbol of community spirit and resilience.
