Description
Newark is the largest city in New Jersey and the seat of Essex County. It was formed as Newark Township in 1693 and was originally much larger than it is today. Almost the entire territory of modern-day Essex County (excluding Livingston and Millburn) was originally considered to be part of Newark Township, but many surrounding municipalities broke off from Newark over time. The township became Newark City in 1836.
