    BERGEN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY: HISTORY AS NOSTALGIA, NATURE AS REGRET An Artist Looks at Historic Sites, Space and Time Despina Metaxatos Bergen Community College My interest in space was prompted by my return to New Jersey following three years spent in the wide-open spaces of Western Australia. I experienced firsthand the ways in which physical space impacts many aspects of our lives – our daily routine, our perceptions, and especially our mental space. On my return home, I developed a renewed interest in the history of my town, Teaneck, and in the history of Bergen County in general. If low population density and physical distance affect the ways in which people relate in Western Australia, these factors may have played changing roles in the development of my town from its colonial-era roots to the present. That the expansive sense of space, time, and wild nature I associated with Western Australia had once existed in New Jersey was a revelation in broad daylight, while also provoking a curious sense of loss. “History is experienced as nostalgia, and nature as regret – as a horizon fast disappearing behind us,” writes French philosopher Henri Lefebvre in The Production of Space. Gradual shifts in our perception of space and time began to appear radical as I investigated and photographed historic Bergen County sites such as Paramus’ Red Mill or Arcola Tower, now imprisoned in a Route 4 cloverleaf, thus becoming a locus for Lefebvre’s discussion of “dominated space.” As physical space is usurped by virtual, abstract screen space, the concrete acquires that aura of nostalgia in places where the past punctures our present grid.

  • History of Bergen County from the First Settlers Through the 20Th Century
    COUNTY OF BERGEN James J. Tedesco, III County Executive BOARD OF CHOSEN FREEHOLDERS Thomas J. Sullivan Chairman Germaine M. Ortiz Vice Chairwoman Mary J. Amoroso Chair Pro Tempore David L. Ganz Steven A. Tanelli Dr. Joan M. Voss Tracy Silna Zur Bergen County is the most populous county of the state of New Jersey. As of the 2000 Census, the population was 884,118, growing to 905,116 as of the 2010 Census and the population estimate in July 2017 was 948,406. It is part of the New York Metropolitan Area. The county seat is Hackensack. In 2009 Bergen County ranked 16th among the highest income counties in the United States, in terms of per-capita income. History At the time of first European contact, Bergen County was inhabited by Native American people, particularly the Lenape groups of the Tappan, Hackensack and Rumachenanck (later called the Haverstraw). Today, some of the Ramapough Mountain Indians who reside in the northwest of the county trace their ancestry back to the Lenape and Munsee peoples. The area comprising today's Bergen and Hudson counties was part of New Netherland, the 17th century North American colonial province of the Dutch Republic. It had been claimed after Henry Hudson (sailing for the Dutch East India Company) explored Newark Bay and anchored his ship at Weehawken Cove in 1609. Early settlement attempts by the Dutch included Pavonia (1633), Vriessendael (1640) and Achter Col (1642) but these settlements were repelled in Kieft's War (1643-1645) and the Peach Tree War (1655-1660). Settlers again returned to the western shores of the Hudson in the 1660 formation of Bergen, which would become the first permanent European settlement in the territory of the modern state of New Jersey.
