A bit of history:
The Cleveland City Stars were founded in 2006 as a member of the USL Second Division and played their inaugural season in 2007. The team found success early on, going undefeated for the first nine games before losing to the Charlotte Eagles in the tenth game of the season. They ended the regular season undefeated at home, and clinched the second seed for the USL-2 play-offs, where they progressed to the semi-final, and lost to eventual champions Harrisburg 1-0 after extra time.
The team's success continued in 2008 as they finished the regular season unbeaten at home. City posted a 10-3-7 record, which proved good enough for third place in the USL Second Division, and playoff qualification. They faced the Western Mass Pioneers in the quarterfinals and won 4-2. They traveled to Richmond for the semi-final and won 1-0 after extra time. The City Stars hosted the championship game and defeated Charlotte 2-1 for the team's first ever championship.
On December 4, 2008 the team announced that they would compete in the USL First Division for the 2009 season.
