City

Newark, California

Northern America

Newark is a city in Alameda County, California, in the San Francisco Bay Area. Before European settlement the area was home to the Ohlone Native American peoples. Newark was incorporated as a city in September 1955, deliberately ahead of the incorporation of Fremont, because residents feared being absorbed into the new larger city and the zoning changes that would follow. As a result Newark is an enclave entirely surrounded by Fremont. Together with Fremont and Union City it forms the Tri-City Area. The 2020 census counted 47,529 residents, which makes it the third largest city in the United States named Newark, after Newark, New Jersey and Newark, Ohio.
