Founded in January 2006 as Terminal City Rollergirls, TCRD is a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA).

[1] Terminal City was founded in 2006 by Michelle "Micki Mercury" Lamoureux, who was inspired by childhood memories of watching roller derby on television and recruited initial members with a craigslist ad.

In 2010, Raw Meat was formed, a drop-in skating group open to all skill levels, which later became Terminal City Mix Tapes.

Terminal City skaters Luludemon and 8Mean Wheeler were selected for Team Canada at the 2011 Roller Derby World Cup.

[26][27] 8Mean Wheeler (now skating as MacKenzie), Luludemon and four other Terminal City Skaters, Buffy Sainte Fury, Evada Peron, Eve Hallows and Kim Janna were named to the 2014 edition of Team Canada.
