| Founded as Christ Church Hampstead in 1908, a year later the club dropped "Christ Church" in favour of becoming Hampstead Town FC. "Town" was later dropped from the title before it all changed again in 1932. Officials proposed to rename the club as "Hendonian FC", although this was subsequently turned down as there was already an Old Hendonians club in the area. Other names that were submitted were Hendon Borough, Cricklewood and Hendon Central. In the end all these were rejected in favour of "Golders Green FC". It was only at the commencement of season 1946/7 that the present name of Hendon was adopted due to the ground lying within the Borough of Hendon. The Borough has long since become the London Borough of Barnet, but as another local club already use that name, another change is now very unlikely. Even now the club is often mistakenly referred to as "Hendon Town", though it has never been called that. |
