Edit
Newark is New Jersey's most populous city and one of the oldest in the nation, settled in 1666 and shaped by centuries of industry, immigration, and reinvention. Sitting at the edge of Newark Bay just 25 minutes from Midtown Manhattan by rail, it holds a distinct identity that stands apart from its neighbor across the Hudson. The city anchors a broad mix of industries, from finance and insurance to logistics, with Audible maintaining its headquarters downtown and Newark Liberty International Airport serving as a major employment hub. Rutgers University–Newark and the New Jersey Institute of Technology ground the city's strong academic presence.
Each of Newark's five wards has its own character. The Ironbound draws people to its dense blocks of rowhouses and restaurants along Ferry Street, while the North Ward holds some of the city's finest historic brownstone architecture.
