The Preston Athletic Club began in 1930 as the Preston Northcote Athletic Club. The club was based at the Preston Football Ground. In 1962 the club moved to its present location of Edwardes Lake Park. The Preston – Reservoir Women’s Athletic Club began in 1957 and was based on a grass area in Preston opposite the old PANCH hospital.
In 1986 both the Men’s and Women’s Clubs joined to form the club as it is today. During the 1960’s to the early 1980’s the club was one of the largest in Australia with membership of around 175-200. In 1960 the men won the A grade premiership and both the men and women’s clubs were the best in Australia over many years.
Since the inception of the club at least thirteen members have represented Australia in the Commonwealth and Olympic Games.
