The organisation was founded on the initiative of twenty-three members in 1894. The first chairman of TG Sokół Sokołów Małopolski was Karol de Rüdenstein Rampelt. Originally, the club consisted of gymnastics, athletics and bowling sections.[9]
Association football was introduced in Sokołów in the summer of 1912 by Józef Woś, a student of Lviv University. Among the first Sokolów football enthusiasts and founders of the football team were Tadeusz Niedziocha, Karol Piela and Franciszek Smolak. TG Sokół played its first matches at Błonia near Turza, but in 1921 the club moved to the new stadium, where it has been playing ever since. In Interwar Period TG Sokół was a member of Lwów District Football Association also known as Lwów League.
In 1920's and 1930's also existed volleyball, acrobatics and basketball club departments.[10]
TG Sokół Sokołów Małopolski was founder member of Rzeszów sub-district Football Association in 1938.[11]
The club disbanded in 1939 after the beginning of the Second World War. During the war, the team suspended play until being re-established in 1945, but the new Soviet authorities banned the Sokół and it was not allowed to emerge after the war.
In 1947 the club was reactivated under the name of the Związkowy Klub Sportowy Związkowiec. The initiators of the revival of sports in Sokołów Małopolski in the post-war period were Tadeusz Łuszczki, Mieczysław Bieniek, Jan Osiniak, Piotr Pasierb, Kazimierz Stawiarski, Tadeusz Marian Śmietana and also some former players and activists of Pogoń Lwów.[12]
In 2015, the club runs a football academy called Akademia Futbolu TG Sokół (Football Academy of TG Sokół).[13] TG Sokół Sokołów Małopolski in 2019 becomes a junior partner of Raków Częstochowa.[14]
