Океан Сити Нор'истерс: Тарихы мен жетістіктері

They are among the most successful USL League Two teams since joining the league in 2003 after six seasons in the USISL D 3 Pro League. Since 2003, they have the third best regular season record and the fourth best home record in the league. They are also one of the best amateur clubs in the country when it comes to the U. S. Open Cup. As a USL League Two team, they have won 11 games as an amateur team (12 overall) with six of them coming against professional opponents Only two Open Division amateur teams Flint City Bucks with 10 and Des Moines Menace with 7) have more pro team upsets in the tournament's Modern Era (1995–present). In 2008, the Barons formed a partnership with Reading of the English Football League Championship that has since ended. In 2010, following a split between the PDL team and their youth soccer affiliate, the team re branded to Ocean City FC, adopted Reading's colors, and a similar badge. The team also adopted a new nickname: the Nor'easters. Since the re brand the team has won two Eastern Conference championships (2013, 2016)

The club was founded in 1996 as the South Jersey Barons and joined the United Systems of Independent Soccer Leagues (USISL) as a professional franchise, competing in the USISL D 3 Pro League (now the United Soccer League). In 1998, in only their second year in existence, the Barons won the Mid Atlantic Division title. The next year, they followed that up with a second straight playoff appearance and a run to the USISL D 3 national championship game. On September 11, 1999, the Barons, playing the title game on the road, lost 2–1 to the Western Mass Pioneers. The Barons made a third straight playoff appearance in 2000, but would struggle for the next three years, never finishing above fourth place in the division.

In 2003, the Barons moved to the USL Premier Development League, and after finishing in fourth place in their inaugural season, they made history in their second season in the PDL. In 2004, they became the fifth team in league history to go through the regular season with an unbeaten record (14–0–4). In the 2013 2nd Round they defeated USL Pro side the Pittsburgh Riverhounds 1–0 at Carey Stadium marking the team's fifth win over a professional team. However, they were beaten by the Philadelphia Union of MLS in the next round by the score of 2–1, after the Union scored a goal in second half stoppage time. In 2017, the Nor'easters hosted Junior Lone Star FC of the Philadelphia Premier Soccer League in the opening round. After a 3–1 win, they advance to Round 2 where they hosted the Harrisburg City Islanders in a rematch of the 2007 Lamar Hunt U. S. Open Cup. After 120 minutes of scoreless soccer, Harrisburg won the penalty kick shootout 6–5. For Ocean City, it was the sixth shutout of a professional team, more than any amateur team in the Modern Era. In 2018, the Nor'easters had to play all of their games on the road, starting with a 3–0 win in Ypsilanti, Michigan over NPSL power AFC Ann Arbor. Next, they traveled to North Carolina to take on the Charlotte Independence of the USL and they won the game 3–1 to earn their sixth win over a professional team in the competition. It was the first time they had upset a professional team away from home and it was the first time they did so while allowing a goal (the previous five were all shutouts). They would return to North Carolina where their US Open Cup run would come to an end with a 4–1 loss to North Carolina FC of the USL. As a USL League Two team in the Lamar Hunt U. S. Open Cup, Ocean City have six wins with five of them being upsets of professional clubs. Only two amateur teams have more wins and upsets in the tournament (Michigan Bucks and Des Moines Menace)
