Surrey Hills FC
The Surrey Hills FC first appeared in 1887. It played in the Reporter District Football League, the Victorian Amateur Football Association, the East Suburban Football League, the Croydon Ferntree Gully Football League and the Eastern Districts Football League.[1] For a few years it served as the third open-age team for Box Hill, calling itself Box Hill/Surrey Hills.
East Camberwell FC
The East Camberwell FC was formed in 1946 and played in the Catholic Youth Men's Society (CYMS) competition until 1963 when it moved to the YCW competition where it remained until 1972. In 1973 it transferred to the Eastern Suburbs Churches competition and joined the Southern Football League in 1993.[2]
The merger
The merger of Surrey Hills and East Camberwell Football Club occurred in late 1994 and the newly formed club played its first season as Surrey Park Football Club in the SFL in 1995. The merged club adopted its name after the venue where it plays its home games.
The club won its first senior-grade premiership in 2023, and has also won reserve-grade premierships in 1996, 1999, 2000, 2004 and 2019.
