History
The original Huntingdon Town was formed in the 1800s and won the Huntingdonshire Senior Cup eleven times before World War I. For most of the period between 1922 and the merger, they had played in the Peterborough & District League, before merging with Huntingdon Wanderers to form Huntingdon United in 1948.[1]
The modern club was established in 1980 as Montagu. They were later renamed Sun FC, before adopting their current name when moving from the West Anglian League to Division 2B of the Cambridgeshire League in 1996.[2] They were promoted to Division 1B in 1997–98, and in 1999–2000 won the division and the Hunts Junior Cup.
In 2003 they moved to Jubilee Park and moved up to Division One of the United Counties League.[3]
