History Oakland County FC was founded as Oakland United FC in 2015 and played its first season in the Great Lakes Premier League.
In its inaugural season, Oakland United finished fourth in the five-team league, with a record of 2–1–5.
The club rebranded for the 2016 season, with a new name and new logo by New York City-based graphic designer Matthew Wolff. They finished with a final record of 4–2–4, rendering them a fourth-place finish in the PLA East Division.
On January 27, 2017, the club announced that it would be moving to a more centralized location in Royal Oak.

On June 3, 2017, Oakland County FC hosted the Muskegon Risers. At the match, a club record attendance of 707 was recorded.
In March 2018, OCFC ownership announced the move to Clawson, MI as the new home for the club. On March 1, 2018, the Oakland County FC Supporters’ Trust was established. With the trust, fans can purchase a membership within the trust which grants them an ownership stake of the club.
On March 23, 2018, Nicolino Morana stepped down as head coach of the club to become Technical Director. In turn, Darryl Evans (head coach) and Derek Peters (assistant coach) were announced as the team's coaching staff for the 2018 season.

In 2026, OCFC achieved its best league finish in club history, opening the USL League Two campaign with six consecutive victories and securing second place in the seven-team Great Lakes Division. Although the club narrowly missed its first postseason appearance, the historic season marked another major step forward for OCFC and established a strong foundation for the future.
