History
San Fernando de Henares was born in 1929 under the name Sociedad Recreativa San Fernando, when several locals decide to create an amateur soccer team. In 1943 the club became federated and, on 21 October 1953, changed its name to Club Deportivo San Fernando.
San Fernando promoted to the first regional division in 1972–73, first reaching the fourth division five years later, and went on to remain in that level for the following three decades, returning to the Preferente in 2008–09, but promoting back immediately, as champions. In the 1980s the club won its first trophy, defeating CD Ciempozuelos in the first-ever Community of Madrid Cup.
In the 2006–07 season San Fernando finished third in the regular season, but fell short in the third division promotion playoffs, being ousted by CD Dénia.

“History is more or less bunk. It’s tradition. We don’t want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker’s damn is the history we make today.”
