Earliest records of Oakengates Town are from as early as 1886–87 when they lifted the Shropshire Junior Cup.

The first team won the Birmingham Senior Cup in 1929–30 beating Kidderminster Harriers 3–1 and nearly won the Birmingham and District League in 1930–31 only to lose the title on goal difference.

In the 1995–96 season Oakengates Town won a Shropshire County League and Cup double again.

At the start of the 2005–06 season the club was in serious debt, the clubhouse was derelict through vandalism and neglect and Oakengates Town was near extinction.

A few locals decided to retain the history of the club and save it.
