History

CD Laredo was founded in 1927 with the name of Sociedad Deportiva Charleston. In 1932 the club won the Regional Final against Madrid of Santander (Racing reserve team) 4:1. That was a huge success in the beginning of its history. After the Spanish Civil War, due to a temporary law forbidding the use of foreign words in football club names, the team's official denomination changed to the current Club Deportivo Laredo.

In 1987, the club promoted for the first time to Segunda Division B. Despite being immediately relegated, the club returned to the third tear just one year later, but it finished again in the relegation positions.

Since 1990, Laredo played uninterruptedly in Tercera Division. In the 2018-19 season the club won silver medals by finishing just 6 points behind the champion UM Escobedo.
