The club formed as Air Source Development FC and first entered the Intercity Football League in 2013. The club struggled in its early years, regularly having to play in qualification rounds in order to preserve its top flight status. In 2013, the club finished 7th of 8 teams, picking up only 7 points. Though it won the next season's qualification tournament, it still finished with the same points tally next season, albeit at an improved 6th place due to Chiayi County F.C. finishing rock bottom with 0 points. They avoided the preliminary round for the 2015–16 season, but it proved to be their least successful season yet, as they followed Chiayi County in finishing bottom of the table with 0 points.
For the newly revamped 2017 Taiwan Football Premier League, Air Source Development changed their name to Hang Yuan F.C. and enlisted the help of Fu Jen Catholic University to improve the team's standard. This saw an immediate improvement, as Hang Yuan finished 4th in the league phase of the new top-flight structure in Taiwan. This finish allowed them to compete in the 3rd place play-off against Hasus TSU F.C. Over two legs, Hang Yuan ran out 5–2 aggregate winners to finish 3rd in the inaugural TFPL season.
Due to the failures of Taipower and Tatung to obtain AFC Club Licences, Hang Yuan were granted Taiwan's place in the 2018 AFC Cup Group Stage, the first club from the country to do so. Signing Haiti international and former Major League Soccer midfielder Jean-Marc Alexandre, the team entered into a group with Benfica de Macau, and North Korean clubs April 25 Sports Club and Hwaebul. A close fought 3–2 defeat to Benfica de Macau was swiftly followed by a heavy 5–1 loss to April 25.
