They won the division again the following season, and this time were promoted to Division One. Following World War II the club was placed in the South Division for the 1946–47 and 1947–48 seasons, before league reorganisation in 1948 saw them return to Division One of the Eastern Section.
Division One was later renamed the Premier Division and Hythe were relegated to Division One. However, after winning the Division One title in 1971–72 they went on to win three consecutive Premier Division titles between 1973–74 and 1975–76. The club were Premier Division runners-up in 1976–77, after which the club moved up to the Kent League. The club were Kent League runners-up in 1978–79, 1982–83 and 1984–85, and after winning the league title in 1988–89, they were promoted to the Southern Division of the Southern League. The following year the club reached the semi-finals of the FA Vase, losing 4–3 to Yeading. After three seasons in the Southern League, they folded in 1992.
Supporters subsequently formed a successor club, Hythe United, which joined Division One East of the Kent County League for the 1992–93 season. Despite only finishing sixth in their first season, the club was promoted to the Premier Division. After finishing ninth in the Premier Division in 1994–95, they rejoined the Kent League. In 2001 the name was changed to Hythe Town, and in 2008–09 they finished the season as Kent League runners-up. In 2010–11 the club were Kent League champions, earning promotion to Division One South of the Isthmian League.

A fourth-place finish in the league the following season secured qualification for the promotion play-offs; the club went on to lose 3–0 to Faversham Town in the semi-finals. Another fourth-place finish in 2015–16 led to another play-off campaign, in which they were beaten 7–0 by Worthing in the semi-finals.
