==History==

The first handball club from Tivat, ''RK Partizan'', was formed in 1949.<ref name=":0" /> Between the 1950s and 1990s, it competed in a number of different leagues, mostly in the Second League.

During [[FR Yugoslavia]] and [[Serbia and Montenegro]], RK Partizan was renamed ''RK Tivat''. The team participated in the Second Yugoslav League - 'West' and in the Montenegrin Republic League.

In 2005, RK Tivat and RK Kotor, from the nearest city of [[Kotor]], were merged into one club. The new club, a successor of RK Tivat, was named ''RK Boka''. RK Boka played their first season in the [[Montenegrin First League of Men's Handball|Montenegrin First League]] in 2006.

The club was renamed during the summer of 2014, returning to the old name RK Partizan.
