Newark

Newark is located in Essex County, New Jersey and is the county seat. It is also the largest city in the state with a population of 277,140 according to the 2010 United States Census. It is also number 67 for the country's most populated municipalities. This is due in part to the fact that it is a major hub for shipping, railways and airlines.

Several small cities surround Newark with East Newark, Harrison and Kearney to the northeast, East Orange and Orange to the northwest, Irvington and Hillside to the southwest and Silver Lake to the north.
