[edit] History
Club Centro Deportivo Municipal was founded upon the initiative of three municipal directors of Lima, who intended to have a football team representing the Municipality of the city. Thus the Círculo Deportivo Municipal was organized, which in 1934 merged with another team to form Centro Deportivo Municipal, participating in the promotion tournament in 1935.
The club was officially founded on 27 July 1935 in the Municipality of Lima. After finishing second in the promotion tournament, the team won the right to play in the Primera División Peruana in 1936, and obtained its first national title in 1938.
Deportivo Municipal was relegated in 1967, and promoted again in 1969. The club stayed in the highest category until 2000, when it ended last in the season. The team was relegated to the Segunda División, where it played until 2006, when promotion was achieved by winning the title with 45 points in 22 matches.
