The club was founded on 22 April 1976. It advanced into the first Croatian basketball league between 1986 and 1989, which was at the time a second-tier league under the
Yugoslav Basketball League. In 1993 they advanced to the
A-1 Liga, the first-tier league of the Republic of Croatia, under the name
Benston, when their primary sponsor was the tobacco factory
Tvornica Duhana Zagreb. In 1996, they entered a European competition for the first time. At the start of the 2000–01 season, they changed their name to
KK Dona, again for sponsorship reasons. In the 2005–06 season they were relegated from the A-1 to the A-2 Liga but returned the following season. ==Trophies==
