Newark de Wedding
Newark is a city in New Castle County, Delaware, 12 miles (19 km) west by south of Wilmington. In 1900, 1,213 people lived in Newark, Delaware; 1,913 lived here in 1910. The population was 28,547 at the time of the 2000 census. Newark is the home of the University of Delaware.
Newark is pronounced /nuk/ and not /nuk/ (like Newark, New Jersey). Newark was founded by Scots-Irish and Welsh settlers in 1694. The town received a charter from George II of Great Britain in 1758, thus officially establishing the town.
Schools have played a significant role in the history of Newark. A grammar school, founded by Francis Alison in 1743, moved from New London, Pennsylvania to Newark in 1765, becoming the Newark Academy. Among the first graduates from the school included three signers of the Declaration of Independence: George Read, Thomas McKean, and James Smith.
