More on Newark

The Newark area has been inhabited since at least two thousand years ago. The people of the Hopewell culture lived here between AD 100 and AD 500, leaving behind earthwork ruins that today dot the Ohio River Valley.

Settlement in the Newark area traces its history to settlers led by General William C Schenck in 1802. He named the settlement after his hometown, Newark, New Jersey. In the early days the settlement grew into a stop on the route between Pittsburgh and Chicago.

Today Newark is home to several corporate headquarters, including Longaberger, Holophane, Owens Corning Giberflass, to name some. Longaberger, a basket manufacturer, has the most outstanding headquarters building, shaped like a giant market basket - their most popular product.

Visiting Newark

Newark is located to the east of Columbus. You can get there from Columbus by taking Interstate 70 until Exit 132 and then continuing on Route 13 (Jacksontown Rd) north.
