The club was founded on 9 July 1923 as fusion of three local clubs: "Kartagina", "Rewia"' and "Sparta", under the name "KS Szczakowianka". With the exception of the years 1948–1951, and brief few-day spell in 2007 (where it was met with widespread fan protests) the club has kept its "Szczakowianka" name throughout its existence, despite numerous minor name changes. They have spent the majority of their history in the 4th tier of Polish football, until the year 2000 they slowly started to make their way up the league pyramid.
