Sport Club Portugues came to be back in 1920. Portuguese residents that lived in Newark gathered and discussed starting a club that would allow friends of the Portuguese people of Newark to meet at a facility not only to get to know one another better, but also to take time to honor and also dignify the Portuguese that lived in the United States. The first of their meeting was held to discuss the formation of their idea. At their first meeting there was approximately twenty-eight Portuguese present. After a year of meetings and careful planning, the Portuguese club was officially opened on seventeenth day of December 1921. The incorporation became official a little more than a year later on April sixth, 1922. The club originally started out as a theater with a sports section plus an Orchestra which was composed with several elements. Approximately two-hundred of the Portuguese immigrants, the majority consisted of men, were all members within the Sports Club Portuguese (SCP) at that time. Almost all of the Portuguese residents living in Newark were members of the Sports Club Portuguese. Interestingly, because there were few Portuguese women in Newark during that time, at times the ladies roles in the theater group at the Sports Club Portuguese were played by men.
The Gateway Center is a commercial complex in Newark, New Jersey. Located downtown just west of Newark Penn Station between Raymond Boulevard and Market Street, skyways and pedestrian malls interconnect all of the office towers, a Hilton Hotel, the train station, and the Newark Legal Center. Built in phases in the late 20th century the complex comprises some of the tallest buildings in the city, two designed by Victor Gruen Associates and two by Grad Associates.HistoryThe Gateway Center was conceived as part of the "New Newark". Built in urban renewal area that was considered blighted it was an early attempt to restore the reputation and rejuvenate business in Newark which had experienced severe urban decay in the previous decade. Prudential Insurance originally committed $18 million of long-term financing. The first phase included Gateway One, a concourse and shopping mall, and the Downtowner Motor Inn. The second phase, Gateway Two, was offices of Western Electric Company. The complex was self-contained, allowing tenants and visitors to remain within the interior. A pedestrian mall one level above the street connected all parts of the complex connected to Penn Station by a glass-enclosed skywalk that extended over Raymond Plaza. Another skywalk extended across McCarter Highway to connect Gateway One and Gateway Two. The skywalks were intended to separate vehicular and pedestrian traffic and provided safety and security to wary commuters. These were completed by 1972. Gateway Three and Gateway Four were completed in 1985 and 1988, respectively. Original plans called for a Gateway Five and a Gateway Six, but are unbuilt, the available land leased as parking areas near the Prudential Center and planned Triangle Park.
The Newark and New York Railroad was a passenger rail line that ran between Downtown Newark and the Communipaw Terminal at the mouth of the North River (Hudson River) in Jersey City, bridging the Hackensack River and Passaic River just north of their mouths at the Newark Bay in northeastern New Jersey. The Central Railroad of New Jersey operated it from its opening in 1869. Through operation ended in 1946; portions remained in use until 1967.HistoryOpened on July 23, 1869 and operated by the Central Railroad of New Jersey (CNJ), the railroad provided a direct route between Newark and its Jersey City terminal, where passengers could transfer to ferries to New York. The line cost $300,000 per mile, unprecedented at the time, earning it the sobriquet "the country's costliest railroad". In 1872 a connection south was added at a junction called Newark Transfer to Elizabeth, where it joined the railroad's main line, which crossed Newark Bay at Bayonne on the predecessor of the CRRNJ Newark Bay Bridge. The line was built partially to relieve overcrowding and reduce the travel time taken on the New Jersey Railroad line to Exchange Place on Hudson River waterfront.
