Founded in 1878 as Hurst F.C., Ashton made their first appearance in a league in 1909, in the Manchester League. They won the league in 1912.

Before the World War Two, they had signed one of the star players of the period, Dixie Dean, but no football was played during World War II. They rejoined the Lancashire Combination in 1947, and still were impotent in league wins. They won various cups during the 1950s, including the Manchester Intermediate Cup, and made it into the First Round of the F.A. Cup in 1952, to be beaten by Halifax Town. They won the Lancashire Combination Second Division in 1961. They went to the Midland League from 1964 to 1966, but moved back to the Lancashire Combination. They moved to the Cheshire County League in 1968, then went to the North West Counties League in 1982, the year it was created.

They finished in 14th in 2003, out of range for promotion to the Conference North, but Telford's liquidation put Ashton in 13th, and they were promoted.
