Rotherham Town F.C. was an English football club from Rotherham, Yorkshire. They merged with rivals Rotherham County in 1925 to form Rotherham United.
History[edit]
In 1899, Rotherham Casuals and Rotherham Grammar School combined to form Rotherham F.C.[1] On becoming a limited company in 1904 a new name of Rotherham Athletic was adopted, and a year later they changed their name again, to Rotherham Town (no relation to the previous Rotherham Town that was a member of the Football League in the 1890s).
In 1903 the new club joined the Midland League,[2] where they remained until 1925, when they merged with their Third Division North neighbours Rotherham County to form Rotherham United.
