Newark, whose modern boundaries were first drafted in 1875 by the Perrin brothers, established a dairy and laid out the town. Despite jokes from local ranchers about the boggy site chosen for the town, the brothers eventually attracted the Pacific Land Investment, Company.
Settlers interested in farmland, moved to the area and grew wheat, potatoes and onions. In 1878, trains, a hotel and the first ferry boat were bringing travelers to the town.
Newark has grown and the industry is slowly moving toward computers and the city expects more jobs to open up as Silicon Valley firms move to Newark.
