History

Founded in 1913 as CD Basconia, it was initially a separate club, first reaching national championships thirty years later. It played six years in Segunda División (1957–63), but this was before the B division's creation.

In 1997, Baskonia became Basque neighbours Athletic Bilbao's feeder club, not being eligible for promotion if the reserves, Bilbao Athletic, playing in the above level, did not attain the same goal. Several first-team players made the gradual transition before eventually playing in the top division and European competition.
