Etymology

Newark was named after an English town and comes from the old words new and work, meaning 'new' and 'work', where 'work' meant a building or fort. So Newark originally meant a 'new settlement' or 'new fort', which fits a place that began as a new town and later grew into a large city and transport hub.
