History

Football in Talgarth dates back to the late 19th century.

After World War I the club joined the Mid Wales Football League, and later in the Welsh National League's Mid Wales section from 1921 until World War II.

In 1947–48 Talgarth played in the Mid Wales League (South). In 1950 they joined the Brecon and District League, where they stayed until folding in 1962.

Talgarth Town was founded in 1969 as a successor team to Talgarth FC which had disbanded seven years earlier. The 1971–72 season is regarded as the team's most successful season where they were league champions and winners in seven cup finals. They later progressed to the Mid Wales League (North). In 1987–88 they were Mid Wales League (South) champions, and won the Radnorshire Challenge Cup in the next season. The club folded in 1998.

Gwernyfed then represented the town until they renamed to Talgarth Town in 2010, also forming a reserve team named Talgarth Rovers.
