The London Borough of Newham is a London borough formed from the former Essex county boroughs of West Ham and East Ham, within east London. It is situated east of the City of London, and is north of the River Thames. Newham was one of the six host boroughs for the 2012 Summer Olympics and contains most of the Olympic Park including the Olympic Stadium. According to 2010 estimates, Newham has one of the highest ethnic minority populations of all the districts in the country, with no particular ethnic group dominating. The local authority is Newham London Borough Council, the second most deprived in England,〔(Slum Landlords: Down and out in London - The Economist ) date accessed 2 January 2012〕 although other reports using different measures show it differently.〔http://www.communities.gov.uk/documents/statistics/pdf/1871208.pdf〕 Indeed, Liverpool, Middlesbrough, Manchester, Knowsley, the City of Kingston-upon Hull, Hackney and Tower Hamlets are the local authorities with the highest proportion of LSOAs amongst the most deprived in England. The borough's motto, from its Coat of Arms, is "''Progress with the People''." The Coat of Arms was derived from that of the County Borough of West Ham, while the motto is a translation of the County Borough of East Ham's Latin "''Progressio cum Populo''".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The Civic Ambassador, The Coat of Arms )〕 ==History== The borough was formed by merging the former area of the Essex county borough of East Ham and the county borough of West Ham as a borough of the newly formed Greater London, on 1 April 1965. Green Street and Boundary Road mark the former boundary between the two. North Woolwich also became part of the borough (previously being in the Metropolitan Borough of Woolwich, in the County of London) along with a small area west of the River Roding which had previously been part of the Municipal Borough of Barking. ''Newham'' was devised for the borough as an entirely new name.〔Mills, Anthony David (2001). ''Dictionary of London Place Names''. Oxford University Press.
