The flag of Newark, New Jersey, is the city's coat of arms in yellow and tan, on a white background with a blue border.
Symbolism[]
The three plows derive from the New Jersey coat of arms and, along with the cornucopia, symbolize agriculture, for which New Jersey was once famous (the state's nickname is the "Garden State"). The two female figures each bear symbols reflecting their characters: Liberty with a wreath and fasces, Justice with a sword and balance scale. The image of Liberty probably comes from the state seal of New Jersey. The arm holding the hammer is a symbol of industry, as Newark, New Jersey's largest city, is an important manufacturing center.
2004 NAVA survey[]
The flag scored 3.86 / 82nd out of 150 on the 2004 NAVA survey, behind Cheyenne, and tied with Plano.
