Formerly known as Albany College and based in Albany, Oregon, its football program lost a record 28 consecutive games from 1931 to 1935.[2] The school soon relocated to Portland and the football team has played under the Lewis & Clark name since 1946.

In February 2026, the mascot of Lewis & Clark was changed from the "Pioneers" to the "River Otters".[3]
