History

The Kent District Football Club was formed in 1952, and from 1952 to 1963 the club represented both Nyabing and Pingrup. In 1954 the Kent District Football Club was admitted to the Katanning Football Association, and had a membership of more than 100. In 1964 Pingrup formed a separate club, which eventually led to the Nyabing Club crossing to the Ongerup Football Association 8 years later in order to reattain strength. The original changerooms were replaced with new ones built in 1971.
