During the past 250 years; Newark has transformedfrom a tiny farming community into a thriving small city. Its history includes the arrival of a variety of industries�including paper; woolen; and fibre mills and an automobile manufacturing plant�that have expanded the city�s commercial and economic opportunities. Newark has also been home to the University of Delaware from its beginnings as a small academy in 1767. As a result; Newark�s history is interwoven with that of the university. Althoughmany of the industries that once thrived in Newark have closed because of technological advances and shifting economies; the city continues to grow. Main Street is now the retail hub of the city; and stores reside in what were private residences. Despite all of the changes brought on by industry and the passage of time; Newark has maintained its small-town feel.
