The Aero Club de Nice appears to have begun no later than 1907 as the Section Aeronautique of the Automobile Club de Nice. The founding as a separate organization, the Aero Club de Nice, was 26 Jan 1908. Its official journal, apparently until 1924, was the Automobile-Revue du Littoral, the official journal of the Automobile Club and the Aero Club de Nice. In 1924, appears to have become the Aero-Club de Nice et de la Cote d'Azur and its activities were covered by the periodical L'Auto-Moto Sports de la Cote d'Azur, which ran until 1933.

It seems likely that the Aero Club was involved in the Grand Meeting d'Aviation de Nice held 10-25 Apr. 1910 by the City and the Committee on Aviation of Nice and the Aero Club de France. Some 320 members, 1910. Officers, 1910, included: Jules Fernandez, president; Ferdinand Crossa and Eugene de Millo, vice presidents; Andre Durandy, treasurer; and Charles Kraft, secretary. G. Delbruck appears to have preceded Kraft as secretary in 1910.
