## History

Founded in 1961, Linares reached the national leagues four years later. It would eventually play five seasons in the [second division](/source/Segunda_Divisi%C3%B3n), four of those consecutive (1980–84), never finishing higher than 12th. From 1962 to 1967, the club competed under the name *Santana Linares Club de Fútbol*.

After being relegated in the [1983–84 season](/source/1983%E2%80%9384_Segunda_Divisi%C3%B3n), Linares played five out of its last six years in *[Segunda División B](/source/Segunda_Divisi%C3%B3n_B)* – created in 1977 as the new third level. Following the team's disappearance another club was founded in the city, [CD Linares](/source/CD_Linares): in its 19 years of existence it appeared in seven seasons in the [fourth division](/source/Tercera_Divisi%C3%B3n) and eight in the [third](/source/Segunda_Divisi%C3%B3n_B) (seven consecutive), before folding in 2009.
