History

Initially incorporated in 1917, the club was founded by a Britisher Napier McDonald and assumed the current name after Indian independence in 1947.[1] The club used to play its matches at the premises of the Bhukailash Rajbari in Kidderpore, before shifting its current base to the Kolkata Maidan.[1] The club came into limelight during the coaching days of Achyut Banerjee, who managed Kidderpore in the 1950s–60s.[7] They took part in numerous editions of IFA Shield; at the 1985 tournament, they faced Uruguayan champions Peñarol.[8][9]
