West Bromwich Albion (commonly known as West Brom) is an English football club based in West Bromwich, West Midlands.
The club’s history dates back to its formation in 1878 as West Bromwich Strollers by workers from Salter’s Spring Works in West Bromwich.
They were renamed West Bromwich Albion in 1880.
Albion has played their home games at The Hawthorns since 1900.
They were one of the founding members of The Football League in 1888 and have spent most of their league history in English football’s top division.
Their league title came in 1919–20, and they have also been runners-up twice.
In the FA Cup, they have secured five wins, with the most recent victory in 1968.
The club’s longest consecutive period in the top division was between 1949 and 1973.
