NEWARK, on the P., W. & B. R. R., is one of the most important towns in the county of New Castle, and the fourth in point of population, having about 1,400 inhabi- tants, and being preceded by Wilmington, New Castle and Middletown in the order named. It is forty miles from Philadelphia, twelve from Wilmington, and fifty-eight from Baltimore, and is just on the line of demarkation between the hill country of Pennsylvania, which extends into the north- ern and western portion of New Castle conn- ty, and the low and comparatively flat conn-
try which marks the alluvial formation com- mon to all the lower part of the peninsula. The traveler moving in a southeasterly di- rection on the Pennsylvania & Delaware rail- road, cannot but notice the instantaneous transformation from the wild, romantic scen- ery and hillside farms which border the rocky streams of Pennsylvania, to the broad peach orchards and sluggish winding creeks of the low country which borders the Delaware river and bay. It is the rich, loamy soil of the allu- vial formation which has made the peach or- chards of Delaware famous the world. over, and which, stretching south along the Atlan- tie coast in a belt of constantly increasing width, sustains the rich rice and cotton fields in Georgia and the Carolinas, and the orange groves of Florida.
