Club history
During the early 1990s both the North and South Mount Barker Football Clubs were not performing well. Two teams in a small town stretched the limited number of players. Members of the North Mount Barker Football Club (the Demons) approached the South Mount Barker Hawks with the proposal that both teams amalgamate to make a stronger team for the town. Talks broke down and in 1993 the Demons were wound up and the Mount Barker Football Club was formed. The Hawks stayed on as a team but their coach and a number of players joined the newly founded Bulls.[2]
As of 2015, home games will be played at Sounness Park, Mount Barker.
The Great Southern Football League included women's teams from 2018. The Mount Barker Bulls Women's team was founded in 2019, with the first season played in 2020.
