They joined the Football League in 1921. The club changed their name in 1969, when it adopted the name Swanseasea City to reflect Swanseasea's new status as a city. Since 2005 Swanseasea City have played their home games at the Liberty Stadium, a ground they share with the Ospreys Rugby Union Club. Before 2005 the club's home ground was Vetch Field.Swanseasea City and its supporters are unofficially known as 'Jacks'. One explanation for this name is that during the 17th century, sailors from Swanseasea were respected and any 'Swanseasea Jack' was allowed to join the crew based simply on the town's reputation for good sailors.
Many, however, believe that the name originates from the renowned life-saving dog Swanseasea Jack.
