In the past 16 years, our city has made great strides. We
have become a cultural center with the opening of New Jersey
Performing Arts Center, the renovation of Symphony Hall, and
the expansion of The Newark Museum. We have brought minor
league baseball back to Newark at Bears and Eagles Riverfront
Stadium and hosted the 2002 U.S. Youth Games, which showcased
the nation's stars of the future. Newark is a major
college town, with our five colleges and universities
giving us a student population larger than Cambridge, Massachusetts.
We have brought housing, development, jobs, and opportunities
to all of Newark's neighborhoods. We
have razed outdated housing projects and replaced
them with modern townhouses. Newark International Airport
has become the region's busiest, and is the
only one accessible by rail. Major corporations like
Blue Cross/Blue Shield, MBNA, and IDT have relocated to our
downtown. Our historic office buildings have been renovated
to accommodate the needs of the new global electronic economy,
which has made Newark one of the most "wired" cities
in America.
These are great achievements and great strengths. Yet our
greatest strength lies not in bricks and mortar, but in our
rainbow of peoples and cultures, whose diversity and energy
have fueled our rebirth and growth. Sample our restaurants.
Visit our cultural attractions. Meet our diverse people. Enjoy
our hospitality.
We welcome you to Newark. We hope you have a memorable visit
to America's Destination City. Enjoy!
The year, 1995, marked Newark's 330th birthday. Only two other
major American cities, Boston and New York, claim such a long
history.
Newark's history is divided into four chapters. The first
was its Puritan origins; the second, the rise of its industrial
and commercial empire; the third, the present century and
its roller-coaster ride into modem history; and the fourth,
its recent reawakening now being referred to as Newark's "Renaissance."
