In the late 1880’s the remains of early settlers of the City of Newark were removed from the Old Burying Ground located on Broad Street and placed in a tomb at Fairmount Cemetery. The City of Newark erected a “Monument to the First Settlers of Newark”, which has become commonly known as the Old Settlers Monument. This monument was first dedicated December 19, 1889 and, under the care of the Newark Preservation & Landmark Committee along with the City of Newark, was rededicated in 2004. The monument stands today as a tribute to the early settlers of the City of Newark.
