I’ve just been reading “Washington’s Crossing”
and learned something new.
Newark was originally called, New Ark of the Covenant.
Learn something new every day.

There are two Newarks in England, thise being Newark-on-Trent in Nottinghamshire (where the founder of the New Jersey city, Abraham Pierson, was said to have served as a minister) and Newark in Cambridgeshire. The name of both towns comes from Anglo-Saxon for “new fort”.
There are several other references in historical documents referring to the New Jersey city as “New Ark”, it seems.
