BOOKS #21. Welcome Back to Newark
Newark was a city of great history, vibrancy and industrial might. The authors have dug deep and long to recapture the glory that once was Newark. From the Morris Canal that dragged coal from Pennsylvania to Newark to stoke the furnaces of a newly emerging Industrial Revolution in the 1830s to the beginning of commercial air travel nearly one hundred years later. Remnants of many pioneering industries still remain in and about Newark. Rediscover Newark’s grand subway system as it laced through the city and surrounding communities. See grand Art Deco buildings and lovely murals that continue to bolster neighborhoods and walls from Newark’s heyday! “Welcome Back to Newark” is a window back in history that you can cherish and relive with your family and friends.
