Founded in 1913 by Valentí Morral Puig, Sallent Foot-Ball Club played in a Catalan football championship in that year.[2] In 1920, the club was renamed Unió Esportiva Sallent.
Club Esportiu Sallent was a direct continuation of Unió in 1927, but due to the outcome of the Spanish Civil War which determined all institutions should have Spanish (not Catalan) names, the club was renamed Centro de Deportes Sallent in 1939. In 1956, Sallent achieved a first-ever promotion to Tercera División, and played four consecutive seasons in the category before suffering relegation.[3]
In 1980, the club returned to the previous name of "Club Esportiu", and was renamed Centre d'Esports Sallent in 1990.[3]
