History

Guadalajara was founded on 10 January 1947, playing its first match in the amateur league against Real Avila CF, a 2–1 win. In 1970 its grounds, Pedro Escartin (in honour of a former referee), were inaugurated.

On 18 July 1985, on the day of the club hymn's official presentation, the club first appeared in the Copa del Rey, against Rayo Vallecano. It would spend the first sixty years of its existence in the fourth division and the regional leagues.

Guadalajara first reached the third level at the end of 2006–07, after a 3–2 aggregate win against UD Las Palmas Atletico in the playoffs. After four seasons in the category, the club climbed to division two: after finishing second in the regular season, promotion was achieved after a comeback against CD Mirandes in the playoffs (2–1 away success after a 0–1 home loss).
