The party was founded by Arturo Araujo in 1930. The party joined a coalition with Maximiliano Hernández Martínez's National Republican Party during the 1931 general election. The coalition failed to win a majority but Araujo was elected president by the Legislative Assembly.

The party dissolved following the 1931 Salvadoran coup d'état when all political parties were banned.
