Newark is a small place in Kearney County, Nebraska, in the United States. It is known as an unincorporated community. This means it's a group of homes and businesses that don't have their own local government, like a city or town does. Instead, it's part of the larger county government.
A Look Back: Newark's History
Newark got its start a long time ago. In the 1870s, a post office was first opened there. This helped people send and receive letters and packages. It is thought that a settler who moved to the area from Newark, New Jersey gave the community its name.
