Newcastle United Football Club is an English professional football club based in Newcastle upon Tyne, that plays in the Premier League.
The club was founded in 1892 by the merger of Newcastle East End and Newcastle West End.It became apparent that the city was not big enough for two football clubs and, as West End’s struggles continued to the brink of collapse in the 1891-92 season, they offered their lease of St. James' Park to East End.
Within a week, a deal had been agreed and in May 1892 East End formally agreed to move to St. James' Park as well as taking over what remained of the defunct West End's assets, including some of their players.
Some names were suggested, but voting was almost unanimous for one in particular. So on Friday 9th December 1892, East End became Newcastle United – although the legal title of the club was not altered for several more years.
