The unusual name "Dartmouth" comes from the original ground residing in the estate of the Earl of Dartmouth – Sandwell Hall. They now play their home games at Sandwell Park, West Bromwich (also within the Earl's old estate), next to Sandwell Park Golf Club and almost opposite The Hawthorns, home to football team, West Bromwich Albion. The Third and Fourth team play their home games at the Sandwell Academy Ground.
They were runners-up to fellow Birmingham League team Old Hill, in the 1993 national club knockout cup final.
