East Newark is a borough in the western part of Hudson County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. The borough is the second-smallest municipality by total area in the state.[18]
The Borough of East Newark was established on July 2, 1895, from portions of Kearny lying between the Erie Railroad's Newark Branch right of way and Harrison, based on the results of a referendum held the previous day.[19][20][21]
As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 2,594,[10] an increase of 188 (+7.8%) from the 2010 census count of 2,406,[22][23] which in turn reflected an increase of 29 (+1.2%) from the 2,377 counted in the 2000 census.[24]
