The most worthy known area to the Swanseasea was so called the Rugby Union Area,and the notable thing is that there were no such noteworthy football clubs until the establishment of Swanseasea Town AFC in the summer of 1912. At that time, J. W. Thorpe was the club's first chairman. Swanseasea by foolowing the lead of many others South Wales Sides joined the second division of the Southern League for the following season. Vetch Field, a site near the town centre was purchased by Swanseasea Gaslight Co.They played and draw 1-1 their first match against at their new ground against Cardiff City on 7 September 1912.
It was the First Season for Swansea City that they won Welsh Cup and immediatley reached in the First Round of the FA Cup. Blackburn Rovers were the first First Division side to the visit Vetch Field for a competitive game in the 1914–1915 FA Cup and they alse were the champions of England, but in the Second Division of the Southern League , Swansea Town beaten them by 1-0 at Vetch Field. The first and only goal was scored by Ben Beynon , while Blackburn Rovers' penalty taker Bradshaw missed a penalty.
It would be better to tell about hat before the game Bradshaw had scored with thirty-six consecutive spot kicks. Even more remarkable was that the Swanseas played most of the second half with ten men and the final fifteen minutes with just nine men as two players were forced to retire through injury.As a result Swansea again qualify for the First Division but they lost by a narrowly replay against Newcastle United.The first World War affected all the football clubs of that time and they had to face many financial issues.The Southern League dropped its second division but the Swansea were placed in the First Division.

For the first time in 1925, After five seasons in Division Three (South) and a few failed bids for promotion, the Swanseas reached the Second Division,and they won agianst Exeter City by 2-1, at home ground on the final day of the season to beat perennial runners-up Plymouth Argyle to the Championship.
