History and description
The monument is a 22-foot (6.7 m) bronze lamp standard featuring two carved marble sculptures, a Native American and a Puritan. The lamp standard has Newark's city seal and two inscriptions that describe the city's history.[3] The monument was commissioned by the city to commemorate its 250th anniversary, 1666–1916. It was moved to its current location in Washington Park in 1977.[4]
Other sculptures by Borglum in Newark are: Seated Lincoln (1911), First Landing Party of the Founders of Newark (1916), and Wars of America (1926).[5]
