 City of Newark - History of Newark
Newark would therefore be the major industrial area for the new Southern Alameda County city.
In September 1955, this effort paid off with the incorporation of Newark as the first new city in Alameda County in 47 years, and defeating the effort to incorporate Newark as part of the Fremont metropolis.
Newark has retained that sense of self-determination and independence, priding itself on its ability to operate lean and fast.

 Symphonies in Steel: San Francisco Bay Bridge and the Golden Gate
The Golden Gate Bridge is the result of the long-term determination of the people of six California counties who, eventually, formed themselves into a Golden Gate Bridge District comprising the city and county of San Francisco, Marin, Sonoma, and Del Norte counties, as well as a portion of Napa and Mendocino counties.
Since it had long been apparent that the bridging of the Golden Gate, despite the many problems its construction would entail, would mean an effective opening up of the counties north of San Francisco, much planning went into the implementation of the visions and dreams of the members of the Bridge District.
In 1928, earlier efforts culminated in the incorporation of the Golden Gate Bridge and Highway District; in November 1930, the voters of the concerned counties passed a $35 million bond issue to finance the building of the bridge, while pledging the property of these counties as security for the payment of the bonds.

 Cantilever bridge   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
A cantilever bridge is a bridge built using cantilevers: structures that project horizontally into space, supported on only one end.
The steel truss cantilever bridge was a major engineering breakthrough when first put into practice, as it can span distances of over 1500 feet without slumping, and can be more easily constructed at difficult crossings by virtue of using little or no falsework.
Thus, in a bridge built on two foundation piers, there are four cantilever arms: two which span the obstacle, and two anchor arms which extend away from the obstacle.
