History

CD San Fernando was founded by a Cantabrian immigrant, after a merger of three teams from the city: San Fernando FC, Atlético San Fernando and CD Arsenal. During the 1960s, it became one of Andalusia's most important clubs, going on to play ten straight seasons in Segunda División the first being 1954–55 after dispatching Real Murcia in the playoffs: in 1957–58 it finished a best-ever sixth, only two points behind second-placed CD Tenerife, leaving the category with a total of 426 goals scored.

After years of competing mainly in Tercera División – in 1977 Segunda División B was created as the new third division – San Fernando was dissolved in 2009.^[2] As with most clubs that disappear due to financial difficulties, a new club emerged from the ashes, being named San Fernando CD.
