The Knaphill football club as the name implies, generated its nomenclature from the base Knaphill, a Waterer’s park in Surrey, England. Initially a recreation ground, it was part of the nursery; blue gate fields and the part was laid out by working council between 1924; the year of creation, and 1928.

Since its year of creation, Knaphill was notable for striving towards being atop. Little wonder it was listed as the winner of the Surrey intermediate league for 1935–1936.

By 1980, the club was represented in the old Woking and district league (now Guildford and Woking alliance) in division 3. Since then, it recorded a drastic improvement with the aid of team managers who came to the table with different development plans.
