Does anyone have pictures of old Irvington?
Theres always these threads about how towns like Irvington, Orange, and Newark used to be good/clean/etc.
Can someone show proof of this? I wasnt in NJ during this time so i'll like to compare.
Thanks!

I suggest you go to a bookstore and pick out the "Images of America" books that feature lots of NJ towns. Here's Newark, Irvington, and East Orange.
I think, telling from their covers, they seemed to be pretty clean towns back then full of community spirit. |

the book in the first link is actually about the city of newark, ohio - not newark, nj.
here's a link to images of america's book on newark, nj:
Newark, New Jersey (Images of America Series), Images of America Series, Jean-Rae Turner, Book - Barnes & Noble |

^ I see.. Edit: Nevermind! (edit 2: Read the description wrong on the Ohio site. *slaps forehead* Thought it was weird for it to be there.)
Interesting... Didn't think there was a Newark in Ohio named after the one in NJ.

I grew up in Irvington. Born in Newark in 75 and moved away in 1990.... Things have changed since then.... Good luck. |

You might also do a search under Camptown. Or even West Farms. The town's original name.
