Newark was founded by Scots-Irish and Welsh settlers in 1694. The town received a charter from George II of Great Britain in 1758, thus officially establishing the town. Schools have played a significant role in the history of Newark. A grammar school, founded by Francis Alison in 1743, moved from New London, Pennsylvania to Newark in 1765, becoming the Newark Academy. Among the first graduates from the school included three signers of the Declaration of Independence: George Read, Thomas McKean, and James Smith. The state granted a charter to a new school in 1833, which was called Newark College. Newark Academy and Newark College joined together in following year, becoming Delaware College. The School was forced to close in 1859, but was resuscitated eleven years later under the Morill Act when it became a joint venture between the State of Delaware and the School's Board of Trustees. In 1913, pursuant to legislative Act, it came into sole ownership of the State of Delaware. -- Source: Wikipedia.com
