The club have spent the majority of their history in the Hertfordshire County League, they joined the Spartan South Midlands Football League in 2001, winning the Premier Division in the 2015–16 season and are currently members of the . In 2015–16 they joined Truro City, Chester FC, FC United of Manchester and Gretna FC as the only clubs in the United Kingdom with three or more successive promotions. History Kings Langley Football Club was founded in 1886, with the village doctor, Frederick Fisher, as its first Chairman. Founder members of the West Herts League in the 1891–92 season, Kings Langley also won the St. Mary's Cup in front of 3,500 people at the Watford Recreation Ground that season, retaining it the next year and losing the final on a replay the year after that. Early grounds included Groomes Meadow, Blackwell Meadow, and Kings Langley Common, and although it has been stated that the club did not settle at Home Park until 1913, the ground is known to have hosted an 1898–99 match against Hemel Hempstead Town in front of 300 spectators. After slipping down the divisions, Kings Langley's first league honour came in 1911–12, winning the West Herts Division 3 Championship, followed by the Division 2 Championship in 1919–20. The following two seasons saw an uncomfortable time in the Herts County League, before returning to the West Herts Division 1 in 1922–23. A similar drop down the divisions led to the club folding in February 1930, only to be reformed four months later, with a Division 2 Championship and Webster Cup triumph at the end of the first season. The return to the top flight lasted only two seasons, but two years later Kings Langley topped Division 2 for their fourth divisional title. 1934 saw a new pavilion built on Home Park, opened by future FIFA president Sir Stanley Rous. With the Herts County League undergoing reformation, Langley took the radical step of joining the Southern Olympian League, taking the second and first division titles in successive years and spending two seasons in the Premier until the outbreak of the Second World War. A 1939 application to play in the FA Cup was accepted prior to the 1945–46 edition, leaving Kings Langley just four weeks to put a team
