Rubber City played its first bout, at the John S. Knight Center, in April 2009. The league was accepted into the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Program in January 2010, and instituted its B team later in the year. By 2011, it had forty skaters, and was claiming crowds of 1,000 fans.
Rubber City at some point left the Apprentice league, and was not listed as such in February 2013. In October 2014, Rubber City re-entered the Apprentice Program.
In November 2016, Rubber City and NEO Roller Derby, also of Akron, announced on their social media pages, in a statement confirmed by a new, mutual website, that the leagues had merged to become Akron Roller Derby.
