In 1907 the Huddersfield Association Football Ground Co. was created and, with capital of £500, set about buying the Leeds Road recreation fields. In the summer of 1908 Huddersfield Town AFC was formed and Leeds Road was officially opened in September 1908 with a friendly against Bradford Park Avenue.

Huddersfield came into the Football League in 1910 however in May 1912 the outfit went into liquidation. A new team was formed though in November 1919 a fund-raising initiative was essential to stave off a move to Leeds! Remarkably, the team went on to reach the 1920 FA Cup Final and gain promotion to Division One.

Town subsequently won the First Division title for 3 consecutive years 1923-24, 1924-25, and 1925-26 under manager Herbert Chapman. They were the first team to achieve this success. After being losing finalists against Aston Villa, they won the FA Cup trophy 1-0 against Preston North End on 29 April 1922 at Stamford Bridge. They also gained the Charity Shield in 1922.

Early results were Huddersfield Town defeating Manchester United 6-0 away on 10 September 1930, Blackpool 10-1 at home on 13 December 1930 and Liverpool 8-0 at home on 10 November 1934.

The highest attendance was 67,037 in a 1-0 FA Cup 6th Round defeat against Arsenal on 27 February 1932.
