Central Ward, Newark, New Jersey

Central Ward is the heart of Newark. It was initially populated by Connecticut Puritans, became for a time primarily Jewish, and is currently primarily African-American.

It is bordered roughly by Avon Avenue on the south (south ward), South Orange Avenue on the north (north ward), Ironbound (also known as the east ward) on the east, the west ward and the city of Irvington on the west.
