[1] Växjö Bollklubb was formed on 20 January 1924 at a meeting at the Roséns café.

Fotbollsföreningen Tigrarna had the previous year applied to join the Swedish Football Association but had been turned down because there was already a team from Stockholm with the same name.

Since their foundation Växjö BK has participated mainly in the middle divisions of the Swedish football league system.

The club reached its peak way back in 1936-37 when they played one season in Division 2 Södra, which at that time was the second tier of Swedish football.

[9] The attendance record is 3,648 for a match against Öster at Värendsvallen which Växjö BK won 2–1.
