The club was founded on 10 August 1922 and expanded rapidly, although it was based on football, new sections were quickly set up.

The club quickly became one of the largest clubs in Polish Pomerania, and the culmination of its strength was the invitation in 1927 of TKS' players to the newly created central Polish Football League.

However, when the PZPN Discipline Department admitted few wo against TKS, and ignored the beating of Toruń players at the Warta stadium in Poznań, the club decided to withdraw from the league after 19th match day (out of 28 planned).

They tried to return to the league for the next two years, but the lost eliminations in 1930, combined with increasing financial difficulties caused the club to collapse.

Toruński KS is infamous for its record defeat - highest defeat in Polish league history: on 11 September 1927, playing with only 10 players, of which 4 were juniors, it was routed 0–15 by Wisła Kraków.
