About Newark, Delaware, DE
Newark is a city in New Castle County, Delaware, United States. It is located 12 miles west-southwest of Wilmington. According to the 2010 Census, the population of the city is 31,454. Newark is home to the University of Delaware. One of Newark’s major sources of employment and revenue was the Chrysler Newark Assembly plant which was built in 1951. Jamaican reggae star, Bob Marley worked as an assembly-line worker at the plant during his short stint in Delaware in the 1960s. Originally constructed to build tanks for the US Army, the plant was 3.4 million square feet in size. It employed 1,100 employees in 2008 which was down from 2,115 in 2005. This turn was due largely to the decline of sales of the Durango and Aspen vehicle models that were being produced. The plant stood for more than 50 years, providing jobs and revenue to the state of Delaware. The factory produced a wide variety of automobile models during its run. The plant was closed in late 2008 due to the recession and limited demand for larger cars. Despite the fact that Newark is located roughly halfway between Philadelphia approximately 45 miles away and Baltimore approximately 55 miles away and is part of densely populated New Castle County, there is a large amount of public parkland—over 12,000 acres – surrounding the city. To the south is Iron Hill Park part of the New Castle County Park System, to the west in Cecil County, Maryland is Fair Hill Natural Resources Management Area, and to the North is White Clay Creek State Park and White Clay Creek Preserve in Chester County, Pennsylvania. Also nearby is Middle Run Valley Natural Area, which is part of the New Castle County Park System. These parks provide ample hiking, mountain biking, and horse back riding opportunities. Fair Hill Natural Resources Management Area and much of White Clay Creek State Park consist of land formerly owned by the Du Pont family that was later ceded to the states of Maryland and Delaware, respectively. Newark is home to the University of Delaware (UD). The school has programs in a broad range of subjects, but is probably best known for its business, chemical engineering, chemistry and biochemistry programs, drawing from the historically strong presence of the nation’s chemical and pharmaceutical industries in the state of Delaware. In 2006, UD’s graduate engineering program was ranked number 11 in the nation by The Princeton Review. Newark’s Main Street is popular among both the University of Delaware students as well as the residents of Newark, offering many restaurant and boutique options. Newark is a recognized center of US and international figure skating, mostly due to the many national, world, and Olympic champions including many foreign nationals that have trained at the University of Delaware Figure Skating Club an independent club operating within UD facilities and at The Pond Ice Rink. In 2009, Sporting News ranked Newark 192 in its list of the 400 Best Sports Cities. The University of Delaware offers 21 varsity sports, which compete in the NCAA Division I. The athletic teams at Delaware are known as the Fightin’ Blue Hens, named after the Blue Hen of Delaware, the state bird of Delaware. The official mascot of the University of Delaware is YouDee.
