History

The club was established as Hageby BK (Swedish: Hageby Basketklubb) on May 8, 1963, by Åke Björck. Its name was taken from the Hageby district in Norrköping.

The men's team made its debut in the Swedish first tier in 1964–65 but were relegated after only one year. They returned eleven years later, in 1976–77, with the American players Fran O'Hanlon and Kenny Grant on the roster.

In 1980, Hageby won its first national championship after defeating Alviks BK in the finals, 3–1.

In 1992 the Swedish basketball league was formed and the club changed its name to Norrköping Dolphins.
