The club was founded in 1887 by the priest Tiverton Preedy that also gave the club its name from his own congregation, Barnsley St. Peter’s. The name would ten years later be changed to just Barnsley.
Barnsley FC is one of the oldest football clubs and played their first season in the Football League in 1898. They were included in the league system when the Second Division expanded from 16 to 18 teams for the 1898-99 season.
