In 1777, Newark witnessed the only Revolutionary War battle that took place in Delaware. To learn more about this exciting chapter in local history, visit the Hale-Byrnes House, where Generals Washington and Lafayette met before the Battle of Brandywine.

The University of Delaware is Newark's most prominent institution, and is responsible for many of the city's cultural and recreational attractions. Want to learn something new?
