On November 14, 1914, the club was founded. On May 22, 1921, União Barbarense's stadium was inaugurated. In 1921, the team affiliated to APEA (Associação Paulista de Esportes Atléticos, "Paulista Association of Athletic Sports") and played their first match in São Paulo State's Campeonato Oficial de Futebol Amador (Amateur Football Official Championship"). In 1948, the club was Amateur FPF (Federação Paulista de Futebol) champion of its Region.
In 1956, União Barbarense took a leave of FPF's Championship. In 1957, the club was Amateur champion of Liga Barbarense de Futebol ("Barbarense Football League")'s Barbarense Championship. In 1961, União Barbarense was amateur champion of Liga Barbarense de Futebol's Taça Cidade. In 1963, the team was amateur champion of the last edition of Liga Barbarense de Futebol's Taça Cidade.
In 1964, the club affiliated to FPF, became a professional club and competed in the Campeonato Paulista. In 1966, União Barbarense was promoted to Campeonato Paulista Second Division.

The Third Division, besides its name, was actually the fifth level of Campeonato Paulista. In 1980, the FPF created a Second Division and promoted Barbarense to this division.
