The club was established by Ron Billings Sr in 1972, initially as a youth team for eight and nine-year-olds. The club was named after the original
Corinthian, an amateur club in the early twentieth century. They initially played only friendly matches, although they played over 60 games a season and attracted visits from
Charlton Athletic,
Norwich City and
Tottenham Hotspur. They remained without a league until 1985 when a successful application was made to join the semi-professional
Southern League. However, this proved to be their only top-half finish, and after finishing bottom of the division in
1990–91, they were relegated to Division One of the
Kent League. In
2023–24 Corinthian finished fifth in the Southern Counties East League Premier Division, qualifying for the promotion play-offs. After beating
Faversham Town 4–1 on penalties in the semi-finals, they lost the final 4–2 on penalties to
Erith Town. ==Ground==
