Summary

District in Newark, New Jersey, US

View looking southeast to Government Center

Government Center is a district in Downtown Newark, New Jersey, bounded by Broad Street, Green Street, Mulberry Street, and Beach Street and named for the presence of government buildings centered around a plaza called Federal Square. Grace Episcopal Church, a national historic site, where the tune of America the Beautiful was written, is within the area. The larger-than-life bust Justice, a statue of George Floyd and another of Mayor Kenneth A. Gibson are in the district.

Government Center is just south of the Four Corners Historic District and the Prudential Center and north of Newark Symphony Hall. Federal Square had once been called Vroom Alley, but was later renamed. To the east along Mulberry Street is the area that at one time was Newark's Chinatown.

While Government Center is the concentration of federal and municipal buildings, Newark is also the county seat of in Essex County. County government buildings are located at the Essex County Government Complex, the heart of which is the historic Essex County Courthouse, home of the New Jersey Superior Court.
