Old First Presbyterian Church and Burying Ground
Newark, NJ
Newark's First Presbyterian congregation was organized in 1666 as the founding church of the city. The current Georgian Colonial sanctuary was built in 1787 by architect Eleazer Ball and added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 2, 1972. The site includes an old burying ground; many additional First Presbyterian burials displaced from the former Mulberry Street cemetery were exposed during the 2005 Prudential Center excavation.
