The Clark Thread Company Historic District, located at 900 Passaic Avenue, East Newark, Hudson County, New Jersey, United States, is a large mill complex. The company originally started in Newark as an offshoot of the Clark Thread Company of Paisley, Scotland and then expanded into these buildings in 1875. There are 35 buildings on the 13-acre (53,000 m²) block.

The site is now used by a variety of industrial companies.

In January 1867, thirty women arrived from England to work at the factory.
