Louth Town were formed in May 2007 when Louth United decided not to continue fielding a team in the Central Midlands League. The ground at Park Avenue had already sold but local businessman Kerry Coggle with the backing of Steve Appleby, was able to secure a short term lease on the ground and with the support of the CMFL committee, and a group of willing helpers, Louth Town was formed.
After finishing a creditable 10th in their first season Town were rocked when manager Steve Morley announced that for personal reasons he could not longer continue managing the team. Andy Holmes was appointed but due to unforeseen work commitments he had to stand down and with 3 weeks to go before the start of the 2008-009 season, Paul Walden was brought into the club. Paul, who was previously manager of Skegness Town in the Lincs League has a wealth of experience and was able to bring a number of talented players into the club.
Paul made an immediate impact with the team, winning all but 3 of 28 league games during the season to win the league by 9 clear points and be promoted to the Supreme League as champions. There was also a Challenge Cup semi final appearance which unfortunatley resulted in an unlucky 1-0 defaet to Sutton Town who went on to lift the trophy.
It was then decided that as part of their progression, the club would form a reserve team to play in the Lincs League for the 2009/2010 season. Coilin Trestrial was appointed to manage the reserve team.
The 2009/10 season proved to be even more successfull than the seasopn before as the first team won the Supreme Divsion by 8 clear pioints, won the CMFL Floodlit Cup and were finalsts in both the CMFL Challenge Cup and the Lincs FA Senior Trophy. By winning the league, promotion to the Northern Counties East League was gained. They were also awarded the CMFL "Team of the Season" for the second year running.
Just prior to the start of the 2010-2011 season the club brought in Bernard Bale as a football developememt consultant. Bernard had an imediate impact by raising the club's profile by recruting "Big Ron" Atkinson as vice president. A new ground is high on Bernard's agenda as he strives to help move the club forward in line with the achievements of the team.
