History
The Tallangatta Football Club was formed in 1886 and was one of the founding Clubs of the Tallangatta and District Football League in 1945. In 1978 The Tallangatta and Bullioh football clubs merged to become the Tallangatta Valley Football Club, although they dropped the word "Valley" in 2009, no longer recognizing their connection to the Bullioh Valley FC after the Bullioh FNC had since reformed.
