History
On 6 October 1920 employees of the Municipality of Buenos Aires met to found a club which was initially named "Club Atlético Dirección de Alumbrado". After that, they began the search for a field to practice sports.
One year later, the Government of Buenos Aires gave the club a 100 m2 land over Blandengues street (current Del Libertador Avenue) where the club established its headquarters.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Indeed, the Englishman’s history of New England commences only when it ceases to be New France.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
