Sport Club Português

Ironbound
newark nj

The name "The Ironbound" is said to derive from the large metalworking industry in the area or from the network of railroad tracks that surrounded the neighborhood. The first Portuguese immigrants arrived in the 1910s. By 1921 there was a large enough Portuguese population to found Sport Club Português, the first of over twenty Portuguese social clubs that would call the Ironbound home.

This is a very unique venue and we have the luxury to share that with you all. We feel like we take our Tango family into this loving Portuguese community and unite them.

SCP has been an amazing part of our team for this event, they make this happen with their volunteers working with us hand in hand. They also become a Sponsor to La Entrega in 2023.

The area is populated in large part by Portuguese, Brazilian, Spanish and Latin American immigrants and their descendants. As you can imagine there is an amazing list of restaurants and bakeries in the neighborhood that bring the cuisines and cultures from these areas together.
