History
The club was founded in 1910 during the period preceding Algeria's independence, originally named Sporting Club Ménervillois (SCM) based in Thénia, then known as Ménerville. It was involved in various sports disciplines such as football, rugby, and basketball. Under French colonial administration, SCM took part in football tournaments organized by the French Football Federation and the League Algiers Football Association. Of particular note, SCM competed in the Second Division of the Algiers Football League during the 1933–1934 and 1947–48 seasons.
After Algeria gained independence in 1962 and Ménerville was renamed Thénia, the club changed its name to reflect local pride and focus on nurturing youth sports. It became Espérance Sportive de Thénia (EST), then in 1972 adopted the Arabic title Chabab Moustaqbal Madinate Thénia (CMMT), which translates to "Youth of the future of the city of Thénia." The name was altered again in 1979 to Chabab Moustaqbal Baladiyate Thénia (CMBT), meaning "Youth of the future of the town of Thénia."
