History
Founded in 1920 with the name Baleares Foot-Ball Club after a merger of teams Mecánico FC and Mallorca FC, in 1942 it absorbed Athletic FC and added its name to the club.
Atlético Baleares reached Tercera División – the lowest rank in the national leagues – in 1943, going on to remain in that level for the better part of the following three decades. In the early years of the '50s and '60s, however, it did manage four appearances in the Segunda División (1950–52, 1960–62), achieving two tenth-place finishes.
In 1977 Segunda División B was created as the new third division, and Atlético finished last in its first season in the category, subsequently playing mostly in the fourth level, but also being relegated to the regional leagues once.
In 2008 Atlético Baleares returned to division three, being immediately relegated back. The club had three coaches during the ill-fated campaign, including Francisco López Alfaro (played nearly 600 official games for Sevilla FC and RCD Espanyol) and Paco Soler (appeared in almost 400 La Liga matches with Atlético's neighbours RCD Mallorca); it promoted again for the 2010–11 season, after finishing as champions in its group, as in 2008.
