The party's first records are dated January 16, 1914.

On March 20, 1945, the party was given its current name by the then party chairman Émile Reuter (1874–1973).

In the parliamentary elections on October 21, 1945, the CSV received 25 of a total of 51 seats in the Luxembourg parliament . Since its inception, all Luxembourg Prime Ministers - with the exception of the legislative periods 1974–1979 and from 2013 - have come from the ranks of the CSV.
