  • 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.

  • Ironbound Community Master Plan 2001
    IRONBOUND COMMUNITY MASTER PLAN 2001 PLANNING PRINCIPLES Preserve the physical character and vitality of the Ironbound neighborhood by establishing and enforcing strong design and planning standards. Control transition areas between Downtown Newark and the Ironbound to prevent encroachment on the neighborhood. Create opportunities for growth and redevelopment within commercial areas while respecting the character of the neighborhood. Preserve strong industrial areas for industrial and related uses. Permit residential development in appropriate locations at appropriate densities. Preserve residential quality of life by protecting residential areas from incompatible uses and activities, such as excessive noise and pollution. 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. Create an environmentally sound community by adding green areas, planting trees, responsibly cleaning contaminated sites, and reducing air and water pollution. Create a safe and welcoming environment for pedestrians and users of public transportation Relieve congestion through a variety of means, including off-street parking garages, resident permit parking, and public transportation improvements. PLANNING AREAS 1. CBD TRANSITION DISTRICTS Expansion of the Central Business District (CBD) east of the Amtrak main line into the Ironbound will have an adverse impact on the character and livability of the area, and should be prevented. Key areas between the Amtrak line and the heart of the neighborhood should be desig-nated as transition areas, with appropriate land use and development standards to enable them to be redeveloped while maintaining the character of the community.
