Norton Sports were established in their present form in 1927, after being given permission to use Norton Park as their base.

Although Teynham + Lynsted were the senior side as the side were to be playing at Norton Park the amalgamation was undertaken in the name of Norton Sports with the club continuing in the Kent County League.
