It includes all or parts of 59 residential blocks, a 66-acre park initially designed by John Y. Culyer (the assistant engineer to Calvert Vaux and Frederick Law Olmsted in the creation of Central Park and Prospect Park in New York City), and three small, triangular parks. The Eastside Park neighborhood is located in the far eastern portion of the City of Paterson, in Passaic County, New Jersey, and is generally bounded by the Passaic River on the north and east, 21st Avenue on the south, and Vreeland Avenue and East 33rd Street on the west. The residential portion of the Eastside Park District on the north, west and east sides, north of Park Avenue, rises dramatically to a flat ridge that extends the length of Eastside Park and straddles Broadway. To the south of Park Avenue, the neighborhood slopes gently to the southeast, towards the Passaic River. Although Eastside Park spurred some high-end development on large parcels prior to 1900, the bulk of the built environment was

    The Civil War: New Jersey in Focus Exhibit at the Monmouth County Library Headquarters 125 Symmes Drive Manalapan, New Jersey October 2014 Organized by The Monmouth County Archives Gary D. Saretzky, Curator Eugene Osovitz, Preparer Produced by the Monmouth County Archives Office of the Monmouth County Clerk 125 Symmes Drive Manalapan, NJ 07726 2 The Civil War: New Jersey in Focus As a strategically located Northern state, New Jersey played a significant role during the Civil War. More than 88,000 Jerseyans, including African Americans in the second half of the war, served in the Union Army and Navy, and about 6,300 died. Thousands trained in camps, including Camp Vredenburgh near Freehold, before heading south. Those who didn’t go to the front were impacted by the conflict through family members, work, charitable organizations, social activities, and more. This exhibit organized by the Monmouth County Archives features aspects of the Civil War with an emphasis on New Jersey. Monmouth County is well represented but other portions of the state also appear. The month-long exhibit opened at the Monmouth County Library Headquarters in Manalapan on October 1, 2014. This catalog documents the display in the library’s gallery of 42 frames with digital reproductions of documents and photographs from more than a dozen collaborating institutions and individual collectors. The detailed captions describe the experiences of soldiers, white and black, celebrated and virtually unknown, well known officers and men of the rank and file, during and after the war. Also included are items that relate to nurses, women on the home front, Civil War music, the peace movement, and uniforms, among other topics.

There is a recognition that when preserved, the historic architectural styles and features of individual buildings enhances the appreciation of the overall neighborhood from both the inside and out. Maintaining a consistent sense of authentic character over changing times is what historic preservation is focused on. In 2003, an effort to recognize, define and preserve the character of Eastside Park and its surroundings was taken up by the Eastside Neighborhood Association (ESNA).
