Clark was first established from Lenape Indian hunting grounds and became a crossroad of the American Revolution. Over time, the area grew into a prosperous agricultural hub where European immigrants relocated in search of the American dream. After the village of Rahway incorporated itself into a city, Clark officially became a city. In its early years, the community continued as a small farming town, but after the construction of Highway 4, which is the Garden State Parkway today, the area went through a massive shift. Land developers built neighborhoods and businesses throughout the latter half of the 20th century. Today Clark apartments are still affected by development. However, the community is now at 98 percent capacity of occupied land.

There are several music festivals near Clark, including the annual Rock Festival, which benefits the Hemophilia Association of New Jersey. Another event loved by the community is the annual Oktoberfest. This event features German-American food, beer and entertainment, as well as activities for the kids like amusement rides, inflatables and holiday-themed shops.
