Joseph Emmett Haynes (July 31, 1827 – December 6, 1897) was the 20th mayor of Newark, New Jersey from 1884 to 1894. A Democrat who explicitly appealed to the working class, Haynes is chiefly remembered for securing Newark a safe and abundant water supply, and his mayoralty is seen as a turning point in the prosperity of Newark.[1][2]
