Downtown Newark
Central business district in United States
About
Downtown Newark is the central business district of Newark in Essex County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.
Downtown is the site of the original Puritan settlement of Newark located at a bend in the Passaic River. The first settlers, led by Robert Treat, landed not far from the present site of the New Jersey Performing Arts Center. The intersection of Broad and Market Streets, known as the Four Corners was once considered the busiest intersection in the nation, and is the heart of traditional downtown.
