Oldham Town Football Club is an English association football club based in Oldham, Greater Manchester, England. They are currently members of the North West Counties Football League Division One.

History

Oldham Dew was established in 1964 by George Dew, a local building contractor, as a works football team. Within a year of formation, manager Ken Hughes entered the club, as Oldham Town was officially formed. For the first two seasons, the club played amateur football with their home ground being at a local sports club. After two seasons in amateur play, the club moved to Saturday football in South East Lancashire League. The club gradually expanded and sought a higher level of competition, eventually moving into the Lancashire Combination League in 1981. Only one season was played in the league before moving to the Cheshire County League, which saw the formation of the North West Counties Football League.

In the 1986–86 season, Oldham Town Football Club was placed in Division 3 and quickly gained promotion to Division 2 before the resignation of Ken Hughes, as he became chairman of the club. Following Hughes's resignation, the club failed to win many honours as they would only win the Petit Cup and the Isle of Man Cup until the 1991–92. In 1991, the club started youth squads at Under-14 and Under-15 levels of competition—both of which gained quick success.
