## History

Gijón Industrial was founded on 10 July 1969 as a merger between Pelayo CF and Club Calzada, both immersed in serious economic trouble. The club started playing in Tercera División, when it was composed of inter-provincial groups, with its best season the 1977–78 one, when it finished third and qualified for the first time for the Copa del Rey.
After a first relegation the next season, Gijón Industrial returned to Tercera División three seasons later and four more times the Copa del Rey, before being again relegated to Regional Preferente in 1982. It spent eight seasons in this league before being promoted to Tercera in 1990. After this promotion, the club spent ten consecutive seasons in the fourth tier, the longest streak of the club, before being relegated again.
Since its foundation, the club has always alternated between Tercera División and Regional Preferente.

## Stadium

Since its foundation, Gijón Industrial plays its games at Estadio Santa Cruz with a capacity for 3,000 people.
The stadium was inaugurated in 1948 and it was owned by Pelayo CF until its merge with Club Calzada in 1969. In 2016, the Town Hall of Gijón renovated the stadium and changed the pitch to one made of artificial turf.
