The club was founded in the spring 1927 by Sven Damberg and Lars Flodin and a group of friends.

During their first year they played in blue shirts and white shorts, but in 1928 they changed to their current colours.

The newly formed club also laid out a sports ground at Viskans vall in eastern Högaborg but were forced to move out in 1937 because Helsingborg municipality wanted to use the site for housing.

Since their foundation in 1927 Högaborgs BK has participated mainly in the middle and lower divisions of the Swedish football league system.

The club currently plays in Division 2 Västra Götaland which is the fourth tier of Swedish football.
