Cachoeiro Futebol Clube was founded on 9 January 1916, by a group of influential members of the local elite in the city of Cachoeiro de Itapemirim. In April of the same year, the club played its first match against its newly founded local rival Estrela do Norte, in a 0âÂÂ0 draw.
During the 1920s, Cachoeiro built the Estádio Moreira Rebello, which was considered one of the most modern stadiums of its time and was among the few in Brazil to feature wooden stands.
In 1944, the club won the Campeonato Sulino (Southern Championship), a competition contested exclusively by clubs from the southern region of EspÃÂrito Santo.

The tie ended with a 1âÂÂ1 draw in the first leg and a 2âÂÂ0 defeat in the second leg.

In the same year, Cachoeiro became the first club from the interior of EspÃÂrito Santo to win the Taça EstadualâÂÂnow known as the Campeonato CapixabaâÂÂafter defeating Vale do Rio Doce (now Desportiva Ferroviária) in the final.
The club ended its professional football activities in 1974 and operated as an amateur side for two decades. In 1994, Cachoeiro returned to professional football.
