Bournemouth were formed on the 11th September 1875 as Bournemouth Rovers, making them one of the oldest clubs in the country. They were founder members of the Football Association , the Hampshire FA, and the Bournemouth FA. They were also founder members of the Hampshire League , and up to joining the Wessex League in 1986 had spent nearly their entire existence playing in it.

In 1888 the club moved to Dene Park, and changed their name to Bournemouth Dene Park. The stay was short-lived, however, and in 1890 they moved on to Victoria Park and took up their current name.
