History

Founded in 1890 in the town of Coldstream, the club had an erratic existence until it started regularly competing in the Croydon-Ferntree Gully FL in the mid 1950s.[1] It reformed in 1952 in the Yarra Valley competition before transferring to the Croydon-Ferntree Gully FL in 1956. It became one of the founding clubs of the Eastern District Football League in 1962.[2]

The club had to wait until 1975 to achieve their first premiership in Division 3. They again were successful in 1986 and 1990. Their last premiership was in 4th division in 2001.
