History Founded in 1946 from the merger of Gravesend United and Northfleet United, they were known as Gravesend & Northfleet until changing to their current name in 2007. Gravesend & Northfleet started in the Southern League, which they won in the 1957–58 season. In 1974–75, they were promoted to the Southern League Premier Division before becoming founding members of the Alliance Premier League ahead of the 1979–80 season. They rejoined the Southern League in 1982. Ahead of the 1997–98 season, they joined the Isthmian League. They won the league in 2001–02 to again reach the top level of the non-League system. After having changed their name to Ebbsfleet United in 2007, they won the FA Trophy in 2007–08. They were relegated to the Conference South in 2010, but would return immediately, before being relegated again in 2012–13. After two unsuccessful play-off attempts, Ebbsfleet were successful at the third, defeating Chelmsford City in the play-off final. In their first season back in the fifth tier, Ebbsfleet reached the play-offs but were unsuccessful. They were relegated back to the National League South in 2019–20, before returning to the re-named National League as champions in 2022–23.
