==History==
Vailsburg had existed as an independent municipality, and was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 28, 1894, from portions of South Orange Township. Vailsburg was annexed by Newark on January 1, 1905, based on the results of a special election held on April 12, 1904.〔Snyder, John P. (''The Story of New Jersey's Civil Boundaries: 1606-1968'' ), Bureau of Geology and Topography; Trenton, New Jersey; 1969. p. 132. Accessed October 18, 2015.〕〔Honeyman, Abraham Van Doren. (''Index-analysis of the Statutes of New Jersey, 1896-1909: Together with References to All Acts, and Parts of Acts, in the 'General Statutes' and Pamphlet Laws Expressly Repealed: and the Statutory Crimes of New Jersey During the Same Period'' ), p. 307. New Jersey Law Journal Publishing Company, 1910. Accessed October 18, 2015.〕 The borough was named for Dr. Merit H. Cash Vail, a physician and politician who was a major landowner and advocate for an independent municipality.〔Staff. ("'FATHER OF VAILSBURG' DEAD; Dr. Merit H. Cash Vail Was Educator, Physician, Orator, and Farmer." ), ''The New York Times'', May 21, 1904. Accessed October 18, 2015.〕
In the mid-1890s, Vailsburg had been proposed as one of the municipalities that would form a "Greater Orange", in an effort to avoid piecemeal annexation by an expanding Newark.〔("SHALL THE ORANGES AGAIN BE UNITED; A Question That Is Causing a Lively Discussion in Four New-Jersey Beauty Spots. SOME FEAR AND SOME WANT A GREATER NEWARK Others, Who Are Strongly Opposed to an Orange Reunion, Would Prefer It to Being Swallowed by the Big City. ARGUMENTS OF CONSOLIDATIONISTS AND OPPONENTS The Proposed New City Would Have a Population of 50,000 and a Valuation of $62,500,O00 -- Newark Politicians May Take the Oranges Piecemeal -- Women Strong for Union -- The "Antis" Argue that Each Section Can Best Manage Itself." ), ''The New York Times'', March 3, 1895. Accessed October 18, 2015.〕 Vailsburg was the last independent suburb to be annexed to Newark, in 1905, during a failed attempt by the mayor of Newark to absorb Kearny, East Orange, Belleville, and Harrison. The district today stands out from the rest of Newark like a peninsula and is separated from the rest of the city by the trench of the Garden State Parkway.
