Clark Thread Company Historic District
Clark Thread Company Historic District, Industrial complex in East Newark, New Jersey, United States.
The Clark Thread Company Historic District spans 13 acres along the Passaic River, containing 35 brick buildings constructed between 1875 and 1910.
The Clark Thread Company, founded by Scottish brothers George and William Clark in 1864, grew to become the largest thread manufacturer in the United States by 1873.
The district represents the industrial development of New Jersey, where thousands of workers produced thread specifically designed for the emerging sewing machine market.
The complex currently functions as an industrial park and undergoes transformation into the East Newark Town Center with retail spaces and residential units.
The facility housed what Scientific American recognized in 1888 as the tallest chimney in the United States, reaching 335 feet in height.
