History

The Club Atlético Jorge Newbery was officially established on 19 April 1924 as "Nacional Foot-Ball Club". The club formed from the merge of two clubs from the city: Sportivo Rivadavia and Correos y Telégrafos. On 23 May 1934 the club was forced to change its name because of a decree promulgated by de facto President of Argentina Agustín Pedro Justo. That decree established the prohibition of using the word "National" in any entity or particular association.

On 30 June 1934 an assembly was held to rename the institution. One of the proposals was "Argentinos del Sud" although the club finally chose the name "Jorge Newbery" as a tribute to the most important sportsman to date.

The first match as Jorge Newbery was played on 8 July 1934, beating Gimnasia y Esgrima 3–1. That same year the club began to build its sports field, which lasted until 2008 when Jorge Newbery opened its new facilities.[1]

gollark: Did you know potatOS has heavlisp now? And a prime factorizer which is actually very performant? I don't know if anyone else who did not happen to read me being excited about them knows this.
gollark: I mean, to be fair, the "really detailed" part is buried somewhere after the features list and possibly safety warnings and is about 15 sentences at most.

gollark: I wrote a really detailed README explaining much of the potatOS architecture and to this day I don't know if anyone actually read it.
