Essendon Association
Formed as Essendon Town in 1900 the club spent a predominantly successful twenty year stint in the VFA (excluding the 1916 and 1917 seasons when the competition was in recess). The club was established because many of the inhabitants of Essendon were unhappy that the VFL club which bore the district’s name was based at East Melbourne. They wanted a club which would be truly representative of the district, and would play its home matches there.
