Waverly Fairgrounds
Waverly Fairgrounds (also called Waverly Park) was the home of the Elizabeth Resolutes of the National Association, baseball's first major league, in 1873. The park was located in the no-longer-existing town of Waverly, New Jersey, bordered by Lower Road, Haynes Avenue, and Frelinghuysen Street. The site is now split by Weequahic Park in Newark and B'nai Jeshuron Cemetery in Elizabeth. The Resolutes played all of eight games at Waverly, all losses, during their forlorn 2-21 season.
