The handball section at the Nielba Wągrowiec club was established in 1960.[1] In the 1960s and early 1970s the handball players of the team from Wągrowiec played in the "A Division", the "regional league" and the "territorial league".[1] In 1973 they won the Polish Championship of the Railways Federation.[1] In the 1973/1974 season they were promoted to the 2nd national league, in which they played for two years.[1] They played again at this level in the 1980/1981 and 1984/1985 seasons.[1] after that were promoted once again to the second division in 1993.[1] After the reorganization of the league pyramid in 1998, they found themselves in the third division.[1] In the 2004/2005 season they were promoted to the top national division.[1]

In 2005–2009, Nielba was one of the leading teams in the 1st league.[2] In the 2008/2009 season, the team won the league; they achieved 22 victories in 22 matches;[2] they were four points ahead of the second in the table Śląsk Wrocław, and were promoted as a result.[2]
