Newark

During the past 250 years, Newark has transformed from a tiny farming community into a thriving small city. Its history includes the arrival of a variety of industries�including paper, woolen, and fibre mills and an automobile manufacturing plant�that have expanded the city�s commercial and economic opportunities. Newark has also been home to the University of Delaware from its beginnings as a small academy in 1767. As a result, Newark�s history is interwoven with that of the university. Althoug
