Club Náutico Hacoaj is an Argentine sports club headquartered in the Tigre district of Greater Buenos Aires. Although the institution was founded as a rowing club, Hacoaj hosts a wide range of activities nowadays, including basketball, field hockey, football, golf, softball, tennis and volleyball, amongst others.
The club has been consolidated as one of the most important institutions of the Jewish community in Argentina, along with Club Macabi.
Large numbers of Jews first came to Argentina in the middle of the 19th century. Those were the times when Argentina encouraged immigration from Europe. The first Jews arrived from Russia, Poland, The Austro-Hungarian Empire and Germany, while other Jewish people came from the Ottoman Empire. Those groups established their homes mainly in the rural areas of Buenos Aires, Entre Ríos and Santa Fe where they worked as tenant farmers.
During the decades of the 1920s and 1930s a second immigrant group arrived to Argentina, where they develop their professional careers in the biggest cities of the country, working as teachers, journalists, actors and politicians. The districts where the most Jews established where Villa Crespo, Balvanera, Flores, Barracas, La Boca and suburban areas. As they usually did, Jewish people organized their social activities founding their own institutions such as temples, cemeteries, hospitals, committees and clubs.
