History

Club Deportiu Banyoles was founded on 15 August 1913 by Francesc Xavier Ballestero Pérez, changing name to Centre d'Esports Banyoles in 1925. In 1942, after the Spanish Civil War, the club was renamed to Club Deportivo Bañolas due to the prohibitions of non-Spanish names, and achieved their first-ever promotion to Tercera División in 1957.

Relegated in 1959, the club only returned to Tercera in 1982, now the fourth level after the establishment of Segunda División B. They returned to their first name CD Banyoles in 1984, but were again renamed in 2013, their centenary year, to Club Esportiu Banyoles
