On October 14, 1961, the club was founded as Esporte Clube Barreira.

In 1991, EC Barreira won the Campeonato Carioca Terceira Divisão (Campeonato Carioca Third Division), after beating Bayer of Belford Roxo city. Both clubs were promoted to the following year's Segunda Divisão (Second Division).[http://paginas.terra.com.br/esporte/rsssfbrasil/tables/rjhistlo.htm 1991 Campeonato Carioca Third Division at RSSSF] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060721001154/http://paginas.terra.com.br/esporte/rsssfbrasil/tables/rjhistlo.htm |date=July 21, 2006 }}

In 1992, the club finished as the Segunda Divisão's runner-up, only behind Bayer, and was not promoted to the first division.

In 1995, the club played in the Campeonato Carioca's top level for the first time in history. The club finished in the 6th position of its group, so, Barreira failed to qualify to the second phase, but also avoided the relegation tournament. In the first phase's first stage the club finished in the 6th position, and in the second stage the club finished in the 7th position.[http://paginas.terra.com.br/esporte/rsssfbrasil/tables/rj1995.htm 1995 Campeonato Carioca at RSSSF] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070823122658/http://paginas.terra.com.br/esporte/rsssfbrasil/tables/rj1995.htm |date=August 23, 2007 }}

In 1996, the club again played in the Campeonato Carioca. Barreira finished in the 10th position in Taça Guanabara (which is the competition's first stage), and in the 11th position in Taça Rio (the competition's second stage).[http://paginas.terra.com.br/esporte/rsssfbrasil/tables/rj1996.htm 1996 Campeonato Carioca at RSSSF] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071210010459/http://paginas.terra.com.br/esporte/rsssfbrasil/tables/rj1996.htm |date=2007-12-10 }}
