The construction of the Morwell Power Station and other large industrial projects attracted many Italians in search of jobs, mostly single men or men with families who came with the objective of saving enough to bring out the rest of the family. They decided the Latrobe Valley was a good place to raise a family and in 1960, a small group of Italians and Australians established an association. A team of trustees came together and the way was paved towards an Italian Social Club.

Although the idea of the Club was conceived in Traralgon, it made sense to set up headquarters in Morwell. This was due to it being more central location and the larger Italians population. Land was purchased and a transported shed was the first club house. The Club grew rapidly as a social and sporting facility, and a soccer team was entered in the Latrobe Valley Soccer League. Two years later, the name changed to “Falcons” with both organisations still working together as “Sister” clubs.
