The club was founded on June 20, 1947, under the name "Club Sportivo Morón" ("Deportivo Manuel Belgrano" had been one of the names initially proposed) after a meeting held at "Bar de Volpi".

. The team started competing in official tournaments in 1952, finishing in the penultimate position. The first shirt worn was white with a red diagonal sash (similar to River Plate shirt), then switched to white with a horizontal band. As the club did not have a field, the mayor of Morón Partido gave the club land located on Almirante Brown street, where the club would build its facilities. In 1955 Morón promoted to

along with Santa Fe team Unión. Nevertheless, Morón made a poor campaign in the 1969 Primera championship, being relegated after finishing penultimate. In 1980 Deportivo Morón won its second Primera C title after beating Deportivo Merlo 4–2. When the Primera B Nacional was established by AFA in 1986, Morón did not qualify to play that tournament so the team participated in Primera B Metropolitana (the other division created that year). On April 14, 1990 Morón won the 198990 Primera B Metro title and therefore promoted to Nacional B after beating Defensores de Belgrano 2–0. That was the 5th promotion achieved by the club since its foundation. The team, coached by Salvador Daniele, won 16 matches and lost 4.Se cumplen 30 años del título de Morón
