~ Bound by Iron ~ Traditional Cache

While the historic name is Down Neck, the most commonly recognized name for the district east of McCarter Highway (Route 21) is Ironbound. The railroads and industry - as well as the Passaic River/Newark Bay estuary - surround this neighborhood.

The Ironbound Recreation Center across the street contains an aquatic swim center and an ice hockey rink. Around the corner on Wilson Ave is a historic tavern dating back nearly a century.

Wiki entry 20th century: Today, the Ironbound is known for being a Portuguese neighborhood.^[2] Portuguese roots in the area run deep, with the first immigrants having arrived in the 1910s. By 1921 there was a large enough Portuguese population to found Sport Club Portuguese, the first of over twenty Portuguese social clubs that would call the Ironbound home.

The great influx of Portuguese came in the latter part of the 1950s. Today, immigration from Portugal is practically nonexistent, but the Lusophone (Portuguese-speaking) population is stable thanks largely to immigration from Brazil and several Lusophone countries in Africa, especiallyCape Verde.

There is the Portugal Day festival every June and a Brazilian festival in September. Brazilians and Portuguese are joined by immigrants from Ecuador and Mexico and a growing non-immigrant community working in New York City
