Government AdministrationNew Jersey, United States1001-5000 Employees

The City of Newark operates as a municipal government in Newark, New Jersey, providing public services and overseeing public safety, economic development, housing, and community engagement. Founded in 1666 by Captain Robert Treat and Connecticut Puritans, Newark is America’s third-oldest city and New Jersey’s largest municipality, with a long industrial history that has evolved toward high technology, industry, and communications. The city’s position as a transportation hub—anchored by rail networks, the Newark Seaport, and Newark Liberty International Airport—supports its economic and cultural activity, including major downtown venues and cultural institutions.

Its customers are residents, local businesses, and visitors, and its priorities emphasize fiscal stability alongside inclusive growth through public-safety improvements, economic development, housing, and community engagement. In May 2026, Newark received the Mission Impact Award at Empower 26 for advancing more connected operations, reflecting recognition of its civic initiatives.
