History

The club was founded in 1875 as Bacup Baldies. When Barrow resigned from the Lancashire League on 20 November 1893, Bacup replaced them and took over their fixtures in the 1893–94 season, finishing in last place. They briefly left the league in 1898 before re-joining in the 1901–02 season. They were founder members of the Lancashire Combination in 1903–04, playing in Division Two. However, they finished in last place in their first season in the league. After finishing in sixth place in 1910–11 they were promoted to Division One and they also won the Lancashire Junior Cup. However, they were relegated the following season, finishing bottom. After three more years struggling at the bottom of Division Two they left the league in 1915. They re-joined the league once more in 1920–21, changing their name to Bacup Borough, only to struggle again, finishing 16th out of eighteen clubs. The following season they finished seventh. Results gradually improved, including a third-place finish in 1929–30.
