History

The club was founded in 2010 under the name Šibenik Stari grad (Šibenik Old town). In August 2011 club changed its name to the present one.

As famous Šibenik's club KK Šibenka bankrupted, GKK Šibenik competed with local KK Jolly to become most popular basketball club in town, carrying the legendary club's colors and playing in the same basketball hall. GKK Šibenik managed to win sympathies of many Šibenik residents who now see GKK Šibenik as a successor to famous KK Šibenka.
