The club was founded under the name Club Deportivo Tipoiti on December 14, 1952, by a group of textile workers from the Tipoiti textile factory in Corrientes. Due to the fact that the Argentine Football Association didn't accept commercial company names, the club had to change its name to Club Deportivo Mandiyú. "Mandiyú" means cotton in the indigenous language of guaraní.
The club's most successful period came between 1988 and 1995 when it contested 7 straight seasons in the Primera División. During this era its best finishes were 3rd in Clausura 1991 and 6th in Apertura 1991. Diego Maradona briefly coached the team in 1993.
After a hard period for the club's finances, it disappeared, but was revamped a few years later as Club Deportivo Textil Mandiyú, its current name.
