History
CD Laredo was founded in 1927 with the name of Sociedad Deportiva Charlestón. 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.[1] 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 División B. Despite being immediately relegated, the club returned to the third tear just one year later, but it finished again in the relegation positions.
