A Brief History of Newark
Little is known of Newark's initial settlements. It appears our community's early growth, like most villages of Colonial America, owed much to natural features and location. In Newark's case, historians tell us that in the early 1700s a small English, Scots-Irish and Welsh hamlet grew along two old Indian trails and the fall line where the Christina and White Clay Creeks turn sharply eastward toward the Delaware River. In time, the area began to serve travelers on route from the Chesapeake Bay, Virginia and Maryland and colonial Philadelphia. In addition, the streams flowed with sufficient velocity to power the grist and sawmills that soon dotted their banks. Rich soil meant wheat, corn and vegetables were plentiful, and the available ore from nearby Iron Hill fed the forges of a small country iron works. Soon a tannery and brickyard were added to the village. By 1758, the bustling local market and country crossroads received recognition in the form of a Charter from King George II, and Newark was officially born.
While the village's history soon followed the typical late 18th and early 19th century Middle Atlantic region development pattern of agriculturally based trade, coupled with steam and water powered industry, Newark departed from tradition as its primary impetus for future growth came from the evolution of a local private academy into the City's largest landowner -- the University of Delaware.
In 1765, a small preparatory and grammar school had moved from New London, Pennsylvania, to Newark. The school, remained the Newark Academy, flourished during the years prior to the American Revolution -- Newark was described at the time as suitable and healthy village, not too rich or luxurious, where real learning might be obtained. During the war, however, the Academy was closed and its funds seized by the British.
Following the Revolution, the reborn Academy and the town grew slowly. In 1833, the State of Delaware -- recognizing the need for local higher education -- granted a charter to a new institution in the town, Newark College, later renamed Delaware College. The next year, the College merged with the Academy and shortly thereafter the grammar and preparatory portion of the school was closed. The college itself shut its doors in 1858 as a result of a student fracas and the coming of the Civil War. When Delaware College reopened in 1870 it had become a land grant institution assisted with Federal funds. In 1914, the Women's College, physically adjacent and linked administratively to the male school, began operations. The two institutions were not formally combined until 1944. Prior to that, in 1921, the male college received a revised State charter and a new name -- the University of Delaware.
In the meantime, the village of Newark had become a small city around the college and local crossroads market. In 1837, the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore railroad -- later the Pennsylvania Railroad and today's Northeast Corridor CONRAIL/AMTRAK line -- linked Newark to points north and west. Industrial concerns like the Curtis Paper Company, reestablished in 1848 from the older Meteer Paper Company, Continental Fiber (1896) and National Vulcanized Fibre (1924) helped diversify the local economy. In 1855, the town's first bank was established. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad -- the predecessor of the modern CSX rail system -- came in 1886 and provided additional passenger and freight rail service to Philadelphia and points west and south. The town's population grew rapidly through the 1920's and a substantial retail market developed in conjunction with University and industrial expansion. While the Great Depression slowed economic growth, the pace of industrial and commercial development increased dramatically during World War II and the subsequent Korean conflict. For example, several DuPont facilities opened in the 1940's and, in 1951, the Chrysler Corporation constructed its Newark Assembly Plant.
Coinciding with the arrival of Chrysler, the State of Delaware granted the City a new Charter that doubled the City's size. Before the City Charter change, Newark had encompassed an area roughly bounded by the White Clay Creek and what is now the University's north campus on the north; the Newark Country Club and the approximate location of Old Barksdale and Beverly Roads on the west, the Pennsylvania Railroad on the south, and the present site of Library Avenue on the east. The new 1951 Charter resulted in the basic outline of the Newark we know today; our northern boundaries were expanded to include Fairfield and Fairfield Crest, the Paper Mill Apartments, and Kirkwood Highway to the Windy Hills Bridge. Brookside became Newark's eastern boundary, Chestnut Hill Road the southern, and the Christina Creek marked Newark's western limits. In 1965, the State of Delaware granted the - created at

Preston's Playground Grand Opening
The City of Newark hosted the grand opening of Preston's Playground, Newark's first all-inclusive playground with safe, adaptive equipment for all abilities.
Preston's Playground is named after Preston Buenaga, a Wilmington teen who has mitochondrial disease. His mother Deb Buenaga was inspired to create an adaptive playground in the area after visiting one while on vacation in Virginia. In addition to providing the 6,000-square foot of space at the bottom of the Newark Reservoir, the City oversaw the construction and took the lead role in the assembly of the playground. The City of Newark also contributed $130,000 towards the water and sewer lines for the ADA accessible restrooms that will be part of phase two of the project. Additional funds were raised through the Preston's Playground Foundation since 2015, and grants including the Longwood Foundation and the State of Delaware Outdoor Recreation Parks and Trails grant. Fusion Fitness, a local Newark business, was also a strong supporter and helped spearhead the project.
