The club are currently members of the Essex Senior League and play at the Rush Green Bowl.

The original Clacton Town were established on 27 October 1892 and joined the North Essex League in 1895.

A group of former players formed Old Clactonians, who joined the Harwich & District League in 1902.

In the summer of 1938, it was proposed that Clacton fold, due to a lack of interest in the club in the town.

In their first season in the Premier Division they reached the first round of the FA Cup for the first, and to date only time, but lost 3–1 at home to Southend United.

In 2005–06 Clacton failed to win a league match all season, finishing bottom of the Premier Division with only a single point and a goal difference of –159.

[6] Old Clactonians initially played on a pitch behind the Queen's Head pub in Great Clacton, before moving to a ground behind the National Schools in 1903.

[7] From 1967 until 1987 Old Road also hosted greyhound racing, which involved removing two of the stands to fit in the track.

The club remained at the ground until 1987, with the last match being played against Lowestoft Town on 21 February.

[8] A small stand was built on one side of the pitch with three rows of bench seating, which was given the name 'the Loft'.
