The men who kicked a ball around West Gorton in 1880 were doing so at the urging of a church. St. Mark's Church of England put the team together to give local men something to do other than drink, in a district where work was scarce. The club that grew out of it changed its name twice — Ardwick Association F.C. in 1887, then Manchester City on 16 April 1894.

The Abu Dhabi United Group's purchase in August 2008 is the line that divides the club's ledger.

Home is the Etihad Stadium , which City did not build. It went up for the 2002 Commonwealth Games and opened on 25 July that year as an athletics venue; the club's first match there came on 10 August 2003, after the track was dug out and a lower tier of seating dropped in. Rebuilding in 2014–15 took it to 55,097.
