The original Busby FC operated from 1873 to 1879. The original Cartvale FC, also from Busby, Renfrewshire, operated from 1878 to 1890, and used the name Busby FC toward the end of its existence.
There was also a club named Cartvale FC in Paisley around 1886. And a new Cartvale FC started in 1892 (called Busby Victoria in its first year) which carried on until 1909.
