History

The club was originally formed in 1892, although a Kiveton side has recently been found to have played in Sheffield football as early as 1880, as well as playing in the Sheffield and Hallamshire Senior Cup in 1884. They were founder members of the Sheffield Association League in 1891, and went on to play in leagues such as the Hatchard League, Portland League and Sheffield Amateur League before settling in the Yorkshire League. They were promoted from Division Two in 1965/66, and also won the prestigious Sheffield Senior Cup for the only time in the clubs history. The club has been known in the past as Kiveton Park Colliery and Kiveton Park United.

When the Yorkshire League merged with the Midland League to form the Northern Counties East League, Kiveton Park were among the founder members of the new league, and stayed there until dropping down to the Central Midlands League in 1991. After a five-year spell in that league, they left, rejoining in 1999 and retain membership of the Central Midlands League to this day, currently in the Premier Division.

In the 1980–81 season, they reached the 4th round of the FA Vase and in the 2005–06 season, the club retained the Sheffield and Hallamshire Association Cup. They have also played in the FA Cup on eight occasions, most recently in 1969–70.

Its home ground, Hard Lane, has been the venue for three Sheffield and Hallamshire Senior Cup finals, and holds up to 2,000 spectators, with seating space for 200 in the 70 year old main stand.

In 2007 the club inherited the youth teams of Todwick Junior Football Club, in order to enhance young players' development and provide the first team with players. The junior section has sides from under 8's to under 18's, and play under the name 'Kiveton & District Football Club'.
