==History==
Newark was named after [[Newark Castle, Port Glasgow]], in [[Scotland]] by J. Barr Robertson.

Before it was settled by Europeans, Newark was home to the [[Ohlone]] Native American Peoples. The first European settlement in the area was by the Spanish missionaries of [[Mission San José (California)|Mission San José]], whose territory covered much of the present-day cities of Newark, [[Fremont, California|Fremont]], and [[Union City, California|Union City]]. In 1878 land belonging to [[Washington Township, Alameda County, California|Washington Township]] of [[Alameda County]] was purchased by The Pacific Land Investment Company and subdivided to form the town of Newark.

In the early 1950s, the amalgamation of towns was increasing in Alameda County. In 1953, residents in the towns surrounding Newark were concerned about being annexed into the nearby city of [[Hayward, California|Hayward]], and began plans to incorporate as a single city, eventually becoming Fremont.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.fremont.gov/DocumentView.aspx?DID=837 |title=Archived copy |access-date=May 5, 2011 |archive-date=September 29, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110929003753/http://www.fremont.gov/DocumentView.aspx?DID=837 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Driven by their own concerns of being forced to amalgamate into this new city and the resulting changes in [[zoning]], Newark was incorporated in September 1955, before the incorporation of Fremont was completed.<ref name="hist">{{cite web |title= Newark's Roots |work=City of Newark official web site |url=https://www.newark.org/visitors/about-newark/newark-history |access-date= June 27, 2023}}</ref>
