History
A team called Compostela Foot-ball Club was founded in 1928, ceasing to exist in 1946. On June 26, 1962 a new team is created called Sociedad Recreativa Compostela, and on October 28, 1962, the newly formed SR Compostela merged with another team, Club Arenal, changing names to Sociedad Deportiva Compostela. The decade of the 1970s was irregular. The team played in the Tercera Division, in the Regional category and in the new Segunda Division B. Its first promotion to a semi-national stage occurred in 1977, with a promotion to Segunda Division B (Group 1), which lasted just one season; Compos promoted again in 1980, this time lasting six years.
Relegation in 1986 was compounded by off-field controversy surrounding the actions of then president Francisco Steppe.
