1858 is the year of the start of the La Badalonense Choral Society. It has its origin in the Coro de Badalona (made known in 1854), from which, in 1857, a sector was split off that founded the Societat Coral L’Alba.

In 1858 the choir joined the Societat Euterpe de Cors de Clavé, where it was recorded under the name Sociedad Coral y de Socorros Mutuos La Badalonense.

Like all choral societies, it had begun with the gatherings of fishermen and weavers, who used to end up singing popular songs of the time.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the choral movement had great vitality, with the existence of several choral organizations. All of them actively participated in the numerous events (tributes, inaugurations…) and festivities (Corpus, the Festa Major…) that were celebrated in the town throughout the year.

In October 1917, La Badalonense inaugurated its headquarters in the current Carrer de Francesc Layret, the same one it still maintains today.
