A 1939 application to play in the FA Cup was accepted prior to the 1945–46 edition, leaving Kings Langley just four weeks to put a team together.
Gradual improvement led to back-to-back Premier League titles in 1965–66 and 1966–67, plus a Herts Charity Shield triumph in the latter year, and the Aubrey Cup in 1967–68.
The club began yo-yoing between Division One and the Premier League, before another promotion was overshadowed by the loss of Home Park to redevelopment in 1980.
A nomadic existence followed, the club playing at Oxhey, Rolls Royce & Buncefield Lane, and finally at the Leavesden Hospital's ground.
However, the new home did not bring an immediate turnabout in results and despite winning the Rickmansworth Charity Cup, Langley were embroiled in relegation battles for the next two seasons.
The club's form improved at the turn of the Millennium, finishing fourth in 1999–2000 before losing the title race on goal difference in 2000–01, and the decision was taken to apply for a higher level of football.
Kings Langley's first season in the lower tier was disappointing, and Steve Heath was appointed manager for the next campaign.
In the meantime, the club continued to upgrade their facilities to the required standard, a task completed by the start of the 2009–10 season, by which time Heath had moved on.
Kings Langley won the Premier Division at the first attempt in 2014–15, earning back-to-back promotions to the Southern Football League.
After rumoured impending budget cuts early into the club's first Southern Premier Division season, joint managers Hughes and Hanlon stepped down after four years in charge, later taking over at Hayes & Yeading.
[1][2] The 2017–2018 season started poorly for Kings Langley and Paul Hobbs was replaced as manager in December 2017 by Steve Conroy.
Chairman Jeremy Wilkins, although still active in the club, stepped down in the summer of 2019 and Danny Perman was appointed in his place.
