History
The Club was founded as Club Deportivo, Social y Cultural Ferrocarril Urquiza by Carmelo Santoro on 21 May 1950. The first players and fans of the team were employees of the Ferrocarril General Urquiza who needed a ground to play football on Saturday afternoons. The club affiliated to the Argentine Football Association in 1970 and played its first season in the Aficionados category (the fourth division of Argentine football league system, later renamed "Primera D").
At the beginning of the 2009-2010 season the club merged with Universidad Abierta Interamericana (UAI) to form Club Deportivo UAI-Urquiza. Having won no titles under its old name, UAI Urquiza obtained the first season disputed by the team, the 2009-10 Primera D championship, promoting to Primera C.
In May, 2013, UAI Urquiza won the Primera C champions, therefore promoting to the upper division, Primera B Metropolitana. The squad beat Deportivo Español by 3-1, when there still had 4 fixtures to play. At the moment of the championship, UAI Urquiza had taken an advantage of 13 points over Deportivo Laferrere, the team placed 2nd.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The basic idea which runs right through modern history and modern liberalism is that the public has got to be marginalized. The general public are viewed as no more than ignorant and meddlesome outsiders, a bewildered herd.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
“Look through the whole history of countries professing the Romish religion, and you will uniformly find the leaven of this besetting and accursed principle of action—that the end will sanction any means.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
“When the coherence of the parts of a stone, or even that composition of parts which renders it extended; when these familiar objects, I say, are so inexplicable, and contain circumstances so repugnant and contradictory; with what assurance can we decide concerning the origin of worlds, or trace their history from eternity to eternity?”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
