Maldon Town Football Club was established in August 1946 as part of the Maldon Social and Athletic Club. The club initially joined Division Two of the
Chelmsford & Mid-Essex League. Although they transferred to the
North Essex League the following season, the club returned to the Chelmsford & Mid-Essex League in 1949. They were Premier Division champions in 1949–50, retaining the title the following season, as well as winning the League Cup. The club then joined the
Essex & Suffolk Border League for the 1951–52 season, finishing as runners-up in the Premier Division and losing the League Cup final. They were Premier Division runners-up again in 1955–56 and 1959–60. They finished in the bottom half of the Eastern Counties League every season until leaving to join the
Essex Senior League in 1972. The club won the Essex Senior League in the
1984–85 on goal difference. In 1996 they rejoined the Eastern Counties League, becoming members of Division One. In September 2009 Maldon Town were taken over by
Tiptree United chairman Ed Garty, with both clubs playing at Maldon's ground. It was announced in April 2010 that Maldon Town would be rebranded as Maldon & Tiptree Football Club, with Tiptree United withdrawing from the Essex Senior League; a new blue and red striped kit was revealed ahead of the
2010–11 season. In
2012–13 they were runners-up in Division One North; in the subsequent play-offs the club defeated
Aveley 3–1 in the semi-finals before losing 4–1 on penalties to
Thamesmead Town in the final after the match had ended 2–2. They were Division One North runners-up again in
2016–17, beating
Haringey Borough 5–4 in the play-off semi-finals and then losing 1–0 to
Thurrock in the final. A third-place finish in the renamed North Division in
2018–19 resulted in another play-off campaign. After beating
Coggeshall Town 1–0 in the semi-finals, they lost the final 3–0 on penalties to local rivals
Heybridge Swifts following a 2–2 draw. In
2019–20 Maldon & Tiptree reached the first round proper of the
FA Cup for the first time in their history. After defeating
League Two club
Leyton Orient 2–1 in the first round, they lost 1–0 at home to another
League Two club,
Newport County, in the second. The club reached the first round again the
following season, losing 1–0 at home to
Morecambe. They qualified for the first round again in the
2025–26 season, losing 5–1 at
