Clark Wedding

Clark is a Township in southern Union County, New Jersey, United States. As of the United States 2000 Census, the township population was 14,597.

The territory that would become Clark was originally a part of several of the early villages of the State and of Union County, but it was in 1858 after the village of Rahway incorporated itself into a city, that the land of present-day Clark, officially became a community. The City of Rahway designated this land as the 5th Ward of Rahway and Clark remained a part of Rahway until 1864 when the 357 residents of the ward declared their independence and established their own town. The Township was named for Abraham Clark, a signer of the Declaration of Independence.
