The Club Deportivo Walter Ormeño was founded on October 10, 1950. It was named Club Walter Ormeño, in honor of Walter Ormeño, the goalkeeper from Universitario de Deportes, because most of the founders were supporters of the team. It originally played in the San Vicente District League in the beginning but it move to the Imperial District League where it would see much of its early success. The team would win the 1970 Lima Department League.
In 1974, The Peruvian Football Federation would promote all eight regional Copa Peru champions to the 1974 Torneo Descentralizado. That year would be the first and last year in which the club would play in the highest level of Peruvian football. It would be relegated on a new relegation system which eliminated the worst team in the league, the worst from the Metropolitan Lima area team, and the worst two teams from the Peruvian departments that had more than two teams in the league. This meant that Walter Ormeño, Piérola, and Juan Aurich would play an extra group stage to decide who would stay in the league where the team did not succeed. Years later it would be invited to play in the Peruvian Segunda Division where it would be runner-up behind Hijos de Yurimaguas in 1990 only to be relegated in 1991. In 2013, after a reaching the round of 16 of the 2012 Copa Peru it was invited to play the Peruvian Segunda Division once more.
