Fine example of this large format map of Newark and East Newark, one of the earliest printed maps of the City.

While founded in 1666, Newark began to thrive with the the arrival of Seth Boyden in 1815, commencing a boom in leather manufacturing. The Morris Canal was completed in 1831, and the Railroads arrived in 1834 and 1385, making the town and important shipping center.
