The club's history dates back to 1952 when the club was founded in Cuautla, Mexico and join the Segunda División Profesional. In 1953-54 the club finished runner-up. Due to the increased number of clubs in Primera División de México, the federation organized a promotional playoff series with: Cuautla; two teams from the 2nd Division (Zamora and Querétaro); and the last place two teams in Primera División de México (Atlante F.C. and Marte). The outcome: Atlante remained in 1st Division; Cuautla was promoted to the 1st Division; Querétaro remained in the 2nd Division; and Marte was demoted to 2nd Division.
The club played 4 years in the First division until its relegation in the 1958-59 season.
