Ozana Târgu Neamț was founded in 1974 and began competing in the Neamț County Championship. After only one year was promoted in Divizia C winning the county championship and promotion play-off against champion of Vaslui County, Avântul Huși ( 2–0 at Huși and 2–1 at Târgu Neamț). The squad of Ozana in the first season was composed of: Floș, Constantinescu — goalkeepers; Croitoru II, Pasat, Axinte, Fodor, Gavriluță — defenders; Meterciuc, Croitoru I, Dascălu, Roman, Dumitraș — midfielders; Ionașcu, Anegroaie, Tulbure, Doru Apetrei, Hritcu — strikers; Mircea Crețu (head coach).^[1]

At the end of the season, the newly promoted team would finish in 12th place. In the 1976/1977 season the name of the team would change, and Ozana Târgu Neamț would turn into Cetatea Târgu Neamț. After 18 seasons played in the third stage of the Romanian Championship, Cetatea Târgu Neamț promoted in Divizia B. The season 1994/1995 was to be the brightest year for the team, occupying the fourth place in Divizia B, coming from the position of newly promoted.^[2]

After a 9-year break Cetatea Târgu Neamț is re-established. From the first season it finished first in Liga IV – Neamț County, with only two defeats that season. After 10 years of waiting, "the white-and-blue men" would return to the third league. In 2016, the club is disbanded for the second time.^[3]
