The club was founded as Comfort Queens F.C. in 1995. It was later renamed to FSP Obi Babes F.C.. The running of the club was terminated by year 2000. The tenure of then governor, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola rejuvenated female football in the state and reestablished the club as Oyinlola Queens in 2004, this was later changed to Osun Babes after the election of Governor Rauf Aregbesola in 2011.

In 2017, the club changed some of its symbols to be more representative of the identity of state.[4]
