Founded in 2006, the team played in the USL Premier Development League (PDL), the fourth tier of the American Soccer Pyramid, in the Mid Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference.

The Hogges were announced as an expansion team in the USL Second Division in 2007, owned by Bermuda legend Shaun Goater, fellow former professional Kyle Lightbourne, and local businessman Paul Scope.

Charlotte Eagles hit four goals past them in two separate occasions, Richmond Kickers hammered them 4–0 in mid-June, while the season's nadir came in the astonishing 8–1 demolition they suffered at the hands of Crystal Palace Baltimore in late July.

The year began with a disappointing 6–0 loss to Charlotte Eagles on the opening day of the season, but the Hogges quickly recovered to register back-to-back victories for the first time in franchise history with wins over Wilmington Hammerheads and Pittsburgh Riverhounds.

Further wins over Western Mass Pioneers (3–1 in mid-June), Real Maryland Monarchs (2–1 on the road in late July off a late goal from Kevin Richards), and Crystal Palace Baltimore (3–1 on the penultimate game of the season) provided the year's bright spots; however, they also suffered a number of comprehensive losses, falling 5–1 to Wilmington in early July, 5–1 to eventual USL2 champions Cleveland City Stars later in the month, and being annihilated 7–1 at home by the Richmond Kickers, with Richmond striker David Bulow scoring a hat trick.
