Newark and Union City, California

The roots of Newark’s community are almost 150 years old. By the time of California’s statehood in 1850, landings along the Bay in the vicinity of today’s City of Newark had already begun to appear. In 1853, Mayhew’s Landing included warehouses for wheat, hay, and coal. This activity triggered interest in the surrounding area and, by 1856, the Mayhew Ranch included 1,500 acres of farmland extending inland to present-day I-880. Less than 20 years later, the Perrin brothers had acquired the old Mayhews Ranch and had extended their holdings to include property stretching from today’s Jarvis Avenue on the north to south of Thornton Avenue.

Newark comprises of the Newpark Mall, with its jobs, close proximity to the Facebook complex, tax revenues, and easily accessible shopping, the Dumbarton Bridge. While other cities struggle with internal differences, Newark continually moves forward cohesively, working for the good of the community and it’s residents and businesses. They have come a long way from the early visions of the Perrin Brothers and their Green Point Dairy and Transportation Company.
