It is a large working-class, close-knit, multi-ethnic community & suburb, covering approximately 4 square miles (10 km2) of well maintained streets and homes.

The Ironbound is part of Newark's East Ward and is directly east of Newark Penn Station and Downtown Newark, and south and west of the river, over which passes the Jackson Street Bridge, connecting to Harrison and Kearny.

  • Roth, Race, and Newark
    Roth, Race, and Newark Larry Schwartz Photo by Marlon Holmes In recent years, one of the ways in which Philip Roth's literary reputation has been advanced is through the proposition he has "universalized" his Newark cityscape comparable to Joyce's Dublin or Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha County.1 It argues for the view that Roth's Jewish neighborhood, Weequahic, is indeed representative of Newark and, in turn, his vision of Newark illuminates urban/ethnic, postwar America. However, from my perspective, Roth and his reviewers are disturbingly uncritical about race and its legacy in Newark. His recent American trilogy (American Pastoral [1997], I Married A Communist [1998] and The Human Stain [2000]) when taken together with the two non- fiction works that preceded the novels (The Facts: A Novelist's Autobiography [1988] and Patrimony: A True Story [1991]) offer a very blinkered view of Newark and its racial politics. In these books, there is a willingness to stereotype post-1965 Newark as a crime- ridden burnt-out city of Blacks and, unfortunately, to contribute to a liberal, racist mentality about Newark as an unlivable city especially when contrasted to "the good old" days of the 1940s and 1950s. For the few short years of Roth's adolescence (1945 to 1950), Newark's almost two decades of industrial decline was held in check. Roth and his generation were the inheritors of an efflorescence that was the culmination of Newark's "golden" era, but one that was built on long-term, cynical exploitation of racism and deep, pervasive political corruption. What undermined many northern cities was de-industrialization, which in Newark had started in the 1920s (despite the economic boom), accelerated by the Depression, briefly reversed during World War II, and then resumed with breath-taking speed shortly after the War.

  • ENCLAVES of MEMORY Michael Immerso
    ENCLAVES OF MEMORY Michael Immerso Sons of Italy Parade On September 20, 1916, fifteen thousand Italian Americans paraded along Broad Street in an outpouring of pride and patriotism that concurrently celebrated the 46th anniversary of Italy’s unification, and the 250th anniversary of the founding of the City of Newark. At the head of one of the fraternal lodges was a young girl dressed as Italia, and a little boy depicting Uncle Sam. The Sons of Italy, organizers of the event, chose to present the Italian community in a deliberate manner. Italian flags and floats draped with red, white, and green bunting were twined with American flags and expressions of loyalty to the adopted country and city. The message was clear: we are proud natives of Italy; we are loyal citizens of the United States. And in some ways, the parade can be understood as a high-water mark for Newark’s Italian community. Migration: 1880-1920 The peak period of Italian migration to the United States ran from approximately 1880 to 1920. During those years approximately four million Italians immigrated to the United States. The vast majority came from Italy’s southern provinces. Newark’s several Italian enclaves took shape during these peak years. In 1880 there were 407 Italians residing in the City. By 1910 the number had risen to 20,000 and Newark had the fifth largest Italian population among American cities. By 1920 there were 27,465 Italians living in Newark. The new arrivals called it NEVARCA. They settled in all parts of the city. Newark’s Italian Enclaves Prior to the great migration of Southern Italians to the United States, a small Northern Italian enclave was located on BANK STREET and Market Street near the Essex County Courthouse.

Convert the waterfront into a major open space resource for the community, city and region. Link the waterfront to the neighborhood, and link schools and open spaces within the neighborhood, through green corridors. Provide adequate sites for new schools, playgrounds, and community facilities. Link scattered residential areas to the heart of the neighborhood.
