History

Founded in 1946 from the merger of Gravesend United and Northfleet United, they were known as Gravesend & Northfleet until changing to their current name in 2007.[1][2] Gravesend & Northfleet started in the Southern League, which they won in the 1957–58 season.[2] In 1974–75, they were promoted to the Southern League Premier Division before becoming founding members of the Alliance Premier League ahead of the 1979–80 season.[2] They rejoined the Southern League in 1982.[2] Ahead of the 1997–98 season, they joined the Isthmian League.[2] They won the league in 2001–02 to again reach the top level of the non-League system.[2] After having changed their name to Ebbsfleet United in 2007, they won the FA Trophy in 2007–08.[2] They were relegated to the Conference South in 2010, but would return immediately, before being relegated again in 2012–13.[2] After two unsuccessful play-off attempts, Ebbsfleet were successful at the third, defeating Chelmsford City in the play-off final.[2] In their first season back in the fifth tier, Ebbsfleet reached the play-offs but were unsuccessful.[2] They were relegated back to the National League South in 2019–20, before returning to the re-named National League as champions in 2022–23.[2]
