IIIffiHS OF If JERSEY. TRENTON, Princeton, Hightstown, Pennington and Hopewell. V .c THIS PAMPHLET IS C0MPLETE, AND IS A P0RTI0N 0F A LARGE V0LUME 0F GREAT VALUE T0 MERCHANTS, MANUFACTURERS, TRAVELERS, EMIGRANTS, FARMERS, AND ALL RESIDING IN 0R INTERESTED IN THE GR0WTH AND PR0SPERITY 0F NEW JERSEY AND ITS VARI0US INDUSTRIAL PURSUITS. NEW YORK, NEWARK AND PHILADELPHIA: HISTORICAL PUBLISHING COMPANY, PUBLISHERS, OOPYEIOHTED. GENERAL INTRODUCTORY. The growth of the American Republic is so marked in all departments of industry and commerce, that its best-informed citizens are not able to keep pace with the many very rapid changes that are continually going on about them. Particularly is this the case with the State of New Jersey, which, lying between the two great cities of the country, is made a vast area of great productiveness and exercising no little influence upon these two important centres. Recognizing the very great necessity of some work that would give to the world comprehensive information in regard to the growth and present status of the State, the publishers of this work have no hesitancy in placing it in the hands of the public, believing that no volume, heretofore issued, relating to New Jersey and its industries, contain so great an amount of useful information. For the purpose of giving a wider circulation of the work, it has been published in parts, each complete in itself, and these numbers will, at an early date, be revised and bound in one large and handsome volume. A staff of reporters, representing in their separate departments unusual ability, have been engaged in obtaining all possible facts within the compass of our design and giving them a readable and orderly con struction. In the successful prosecution of this, it has required a very large outlay of money and about two years of careful labor upon the part of all engaged in compiling the work. This work relates to the busi ness interests of all the cities and towns of the State, showing their growth and progress in population ; ad vantages as a point for manufacturing ; a review of the business and business men ; origin and development of prominent firms, institutions, corporations, etc. The design of this volume is not only to acquaint the citizens of any particular locality with what be longs to their section and their own industrial thrift, but to place with them a convenient hand-book of reference, and in such shape that its distribution abroad will be a matter of interest and profit to all within its covers. The historical portion, while an epitome, is of the best and most accurate that has been written, and the arrangement of it dispenses with the necessity of perusing many pages to learn what is here con tained in a few. The prevalence of many concerns of moderate size and in strong contradistinction to the many mammoth enterprises also noted, is not exceptional, but is a feature of all communities. While their range of operation is limited to the size of the community in which they exist, they are, in their particular sphere, just as necessary parts of our social and commercial structure, and are as much entitled to considera tion as such at our hands, as the most extensive enterprise that we note.

  • New Jersey State Research Guide Family History Sources in the Garden State
    New Jersey State Research Guide Family History Sources in the Garden State New Jersey History After Henry Hudson’s initial explorations of the Hudson and Delaware River areas, numerous Dutch settlements were attempted in New Jersey, beginning as early as 1618. These settlements were soon abandoned because of altercations with the Lenni-Lenape (or Delaware), the original inhabitants. A more lasting settlement was made from 1638 to 1655 by the Swedes and Finns along the Delaware as part of New Sweden, and this continued to flourish although the Dutch eventually Hessian Barracks, Trenton, New Jersey from U.S., Historical Postcards gained control over this area and made it part of New Netherland. By 1639, there were as many as six boweries, or small plantations, on the New Jersey side of the Hudson across from Manhattan. Two major confrontations with the native Indians in 1643 and 1655 destroyed all Dutch settlements in northern New Jersey, and not until 1660 was the first permanent settlement established—the village of Bergen, today part of Jersey City. Of the settlers throughout the colonial period, only the English outnumbered the Dutch in New Jersey. When England acquired the New Netherland Colony from the Dutch in 1664, King Charles II gave his brother, the Duke of York (later King James II), all of New York and New Jersey. The duke in turn granted New Jersey to two of his creditors, Lord John Berkeley and Sir George Carteret. The land was named Nova Caesaria for the Isle of Jersey, Carteret’s home. The year that England took control there was a large influx of English from New England and Long Island who, for want of more or better land, settled the East Jersey towns of Elizabethtown, Middletown, Piscataway, Shrewsbury, and Woodbridge.

June 17, 2021 The New Jersey Law Revision Commission is required to “[c]onduct a continuous examination of the general and permanent statutory law of this State and the judicial decisions construing it” and to propose to the Legislature revisions to the statutes to “remedy defects, reconcile conflicting provisions, clarify confusing language and eliminate redundant provisions.” N.J.S. 1:12A-8.

  • Freedom and Unfreedom in the “Garden of America:”
    FREEDOM AND UNFREEDOM IN THE “GARDEN OF AMERICA:” SLAVERY AND ABOLITION IN NEW JERSEY, 1770-1857 by James J. Gigantino II (Under the Direction of Allan Kulikoff) ABSTRACT This dissertation examines abolition in New Jersey between 1770 and 1857. It argues that the American Revolution did not lead white New Jerseyans to abolish slavery. Instead, the Revolutionary War and the years following it reinforced the institution of slavery in the Garden State. This dissertation first focuses on the factors that led New Jersey to pass the Gradual Abolition Act of 1804, specifically the rise of Jeffersonian Republicanism and the influence of Quaker abolition activists and then examines the elongated abolition period which followed the enactment of gradual abolition, beginning with the role of the children born under the law, those who I call slaves for a term. The role these children played in early national America challenges our understandings of slavery and freedom. Instead of a quick abolition process, slaves and slaves for a term in New Jersey continued to serve their masters in significant numbers until the 1840s and then in smaller proportions until the eve of the Civil War. The existence of slavery in a free state challenges our understanding of the rise of capitalism in the early republic as well as the role the North played in debates over nationwide slavery issues beginning in the 1820s. This long-standing relationship to slavery helped prevent the formation of a strong abolitionist base in the 1830s and influenced Northern images of African Americans until the Civil War. Abolition in the North became very much a process, one of fits and starts which stretched from the Revolution to the Civil War and defined how Americans, white and black, understood their place in the new republic.

To do this we need a continuance of the support heretofore given us, and the official assist- ance of the Legislature. We are confident that this little hand-book, furnished at the small cost of one dollar a volume, is indispensable to every legislator, State official and others, who can, at a moment's notice, refer to it for information of any sort connected with the politics and affairs of State. The vast amount of data, compiled in such a remarkably concise manner, is the result of care- ful research of official documents; and the sketches of the Governor, members of the Judiciary, Congressmen, members of the Legislature, and State officers, are authentic.
