Rotherham Town F.C. (1899)

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
In 1899, Rotherham Casuals and Rotherham Grammar School combined to form Rotherham F.C. 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, where they remained until 1925, when they merged with their Third Division North neighbours Rotherham County to form Rotherham United.
