History.
The club was founded in 1923. Its initial name, in place until 1939, was "Węgierka", after the local river. In 1945, following World War II, the club was reactivated as "Zryw" and renamed "Związkowiec" shortly afterwards. For the 1951-1955 period, the club returned to its original name. In 1955, the name "Start" was adopted which was changed to "LZS Grom" in 1964. At that time, a military unit was established in Przasnysz what led to soldiers performing military service in the town playing for the local club. In 1972, the club was renamed to ZWAR (after the factory based in the town called "Zakłady Wytwórcze Aparatury Rozdzielczej" - the Switchgear Production Facilities). From 1982 to 2000, its name was "MZKS". Afterwards, the current name was adopted.
League history.
Following good results in non-league matches in 1948, the club joined the "klasa C" competitions in 1949. After a series of promotions in the 1960s made possible due to the participation of soldiers in the club's squad, the club reached the "liga okręgowa" (three levels up from the "klasa C" at the time).
As ZWAR Przasnysz, the club reaches the "III liga" in 1979. However, the team finishes last (15th) and was relegated after just one season at the third tier. As MZKS Przasnysz, the club returned to the third level in 1982. The club managed to finish 9th out of 14 in 1982/83, avoiding relegation. The following season, 1983/84, MZKS was ranked 11th out of 14 which wasn't enough to maintain a place at the third tier. Afterwards, the club did not manage to return to the "III liga".
In 1999, MKS advanced to the "IV liga" but the 1999/00 season ended in defeat, the club finished last being the only team to be relegated that year. Following relegation in 2000, MKS joined the Ciechanów group of the "Liga okręgowa" where it played until 2007/08. That season, the club won promotion to the Mazovian group of the newly-reformed "IV liga", the fifth tier. MKS has been playing there ever since.
In the Polish Cup.
Under the name ZWAR Przasnysz, the club reached the central level of the Polish Cup twice but did not achieve any major success. In the 1978/79 edition, the club was eliminated by Wisła Płock (third division at the time) in the first round. In 1980/81, the Przasnysz team managed to win against the second team of Ursus Warszawa 1–0 in the first round but lost to Bałtyk Gdynia, a top-tier team, in a penalty shootout in the second round.
