History

[edit]

The club was founded on July 7, 1913, on Cuzco Street in Callao, taking its name in honor of the Peruvian aviator Jorge Chávez. Its founders were Pedro Valega, Enrique Álvarez, Fermín Flores, and Frank Runciman, all students of Callao High School (now Colegio América). It was initially known as Jorge Chávez No. 2 (the second club from Callao with that name) to distinguish it from the Lima-based side Jorge Chávez No. 1, founded years earlier. It later adopted its full name.

The club competed in the First Division in 1928 and 1929, being relegated in the latter after finishing second from bottom. In the following years, it played in the División Intermedia, then in the Liga Provincial del Callao, and later in the Liga Regional de Lima y Callao.

It won the Regional League title in 1943, earning promotion to the 1944 Peruvian Segunda División. In 1947, it secured the Second Division championship after a 4–2 victory over Telmo Carbajo on the penultimate matchday, achieving promotion back to the 1948 Peruvian Primera División.

In the 1948 First Division, it finished bottom and was relegated alongside Ciclista Lima. The following year, it won the Second Division again after defeating Santiago Barranco 2–0 on the penultimate matchday, earning, along with Ciclista, a swift return to the top flight. However, it once again finished bottom in the 1950 Championship and was relegated again.

In the 1955 Peruvian Segunda División, it finished last and suffered relegation. The club then played in the Liga Provincial del Callao until 1969, when it disappeared.
