History
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.

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.
