History

United was formed in 1978 when clubs Nyah FC and Nyah West FC of the Mid Murray Football League were elected to merge.[2] The club's senior team initially struggled following their formation. Following the 1996 season, the club moved to the Central Murray Football League following the merge of the Mid Murray, Northern and Echuca Football Leagues.[3]
