Founded in 1929 as Unión Sportiva Ovetense, the club was renamed to Sociedad Deportiva Vetusta in 1940. Vetusta reached the national categories ten years later, and even enjoyed 11 seasons in the third division, with two four-year spells.[citation needed]
Following the first team's relegation into the fourth level, the club disappeared in 2003, being re-formed three years later and regaining part of its original denomination (Vetusta) in 2008. After returning to Tercera División, Group 2, the club finished 8th in the 2010-11 season.[2]
