History

The Northrock United Lumber Organization founded a football club in 1918 to compete in the New Liverpool Regional Division. Northrock United eventually joined the Slokasian Football League in 1925, being one of its founding members. In 1929, Northrock purchased the rights to Goodhope Road, the home ground of rivals New Liverpool FC, this incident led to the historic rival known as the New Liverpool Derby or the "El Gran Derby". Northrock became one of the most well-funded teams during the 1930s and 40s leading to over 14 league titles in 20 years. In 1956, the government purchased the club and re-named it "Red Star New Liverpool".
