Gateway City first appeared in the 1940s in stories featuring Mr. Terrific. The first Mr. Terrific story we an find which features a local police officer as a character is "The Comeuppance of Dapper Joe" in Sensation Comics #4. We believe that this is the first appearance of the Gateway City Police Department, although it may not have been explicitly identified as such by name.
