Aldershot Town Football Club was founded in the spring of 1992 just after the closure of debt ridden fourth division club Aldershot F.C., who had been founded in 1925 and had been league members since 1932. Like the old club, the new Aldershot football club played its home games at the Recreation Ground in Aldershot town centre.

They joined the Ryman (Diadora) League Division Three for the 1992-93 season, and at the end of 1997-98 won promotion to the Premier Division of the league. Two years later they finished runners-up in the Premier Division and just missed out on a place in the Nationwide Conference, but achieved this success at Ryman Premier Division champions at the end of the 2002-03 season.

In 2003-04 Aldershot Town qualified for the Conference National promotion playoffs but lost on penalties to Shrewsbury Town in the final. The following year they lost in the semi-final to Carlisle United.
