Founded in 1950 as an honour to a previous CD Lorca which existed in the city in the 1930s,[1] the club replaced dissolved Lorca CF and spent their first year only playing friendlies, before entering the Primera Regional de Murcia in 1951.[2] They won the league in that season, achieving promotion to Tercera División.

Lorca played 14 consecutive seasons in the third division, before suffering relegation in 1966 and subsequently folding.[2] Three years later, CF Lorca Deportiva were founded.[1]
