  • 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.

  • New Jersey Genealogy Research
    New Jersey Genealogy Research Native American Inhabitants The indigenous peoples of the land now called New Jersey were the Lenape. They occupied the entire basin of the Delaware River in east Pennsylvania and south New York, together with most of New Jersey and Delaware. This was the home territory of the Algonquin peoples, the place from whom most of the tribes originated. Their name means "original people" or "genuine people." They spoke an Algonquian dialect. Though they were considered one tribe, the Lenape were a confederacy. They lived in small communities made up mostly of extended family members. The men would hunt or fish during the day. Depending on the season they might search for clams off the Jersey shore or hunt in the woods. The women worked in the gardens. They grew squash, beans, sweet potatoes, and corn. By priority of political rank and because they occupied the central home territory, the Lenape were accorded the respectful title of “grandfather” by all the Algonquian tribes and by the Huron people. The Nanticoke, Conoy, Shawnee, and Mahican claimed close connection with the Lenape and preserved the tradition of a common origin. The English called them the Delaware, from the name of their principal river; the French called them Loups, ‘wolves,’ a term probably applied originally to the Mahican on the Hudson River, afterward extended to the Munsee division and to the whole group. European Settlement Around 1524, Giovanni de Verrazano became the first European to explore New Jersey. He sailed along the coast and anchored off Sandy Hook. In 1609, Henry Hudson sailed through Newark Bay.

Copyright 1928 The Society of Colonial Wars in the Stci tc of New Jersey Press oj Innes & Sons Philadelphia PREFACE N the foreword of "The First Americans" the Editors say, "The beginning of the thirteen English Colonies, so big I with destiny, have stirred the reverent curiosity of Ameri' can historians generation after generation." It is one of the ob' jects of the Society of Colonial Wars to promote an interest in and knowledge of Colonial history, not only by historians but by the ordinary man who professes that he has no time to devote to things that are past. In this day when distance is made unimportant by the motor vehicle, and we can in a day cover a mileage, which would have taken many days in Colonial times, there is no excuse for unfamiliarity or lack of knowledge of the historic spots in one's own State. When the State is one with a his- tory so fascinating and so closely connected with our National history, there is even less excuse for ignorance.

  • Physiography, Topography and Geology
    3: PHYSIOGRAPHY, TOPOGRAPHY AND GEOLOGY A. Physiography New Jersey can be divided into four regions, known as physiographic provinces, which are areas with similar sequences of rock types, geologic structures and a common geologic history (see Figure 3a). The northwestern section of New Jersey is part of the Valley and Ridge Province, which is characterized by long, parallel ridges and valleys formed by folded and faulted limestones, shales and sandstones of early and middle Paleozoic age. Erosion-resistant sandstone and siltstone bedrock lie beneath the ridges of the Appalachian Mountains while shale and limestone underlie the valleys. Bordering the Valley and Ridge Province to the southeast, the Highlands Province consists of metamorphic rocks of Precambrian age. The granites and gneisses are resistant to erosion and create a hilly upland with deep, steep-sided valleys carved by streams. These folds are seen in the northern half of Holland Township (see Figure 3a). The Highlands Province is separated from the Piedmont Province by a series of major faults which cross Holland Township and reach the Delaware River near Church Road (see Figure 3a). The Piedmont Province is characterized by gently rolling hills. The rocks of the Piedmont are of Late Triassic and Early Jurassic age. As sediments eroded from adjacent uplands, and were deposited along rivers and lakes within the basin, they became compacted and cemented to form conglomerate, sandstone, siltstone and shale. Diabase is a rock formed by the cooling of magma at some depth in the crust (i.e. the magma did not erupt at the surface), while basalt formed when the magma was extruded onto the surface.

  • Notes on Newark's Urban History
    & camport. IArch. Behav.. Val. 4, no. 2, p. 157-174 (1988) Notes on Newark's Urban History Jacques Gubler Department of Architecture Federal Institute of Technology 12, Avenue de l'Eglise Anglaise 1006 Lausanne Switzerland Summary The originality of Newark's city plan lies in the way in which the colonial set- tlement has been superimposed upon the Indian land pattern. What appears "irregular" in comparison with the usual orthogonal urban grid is, in this case, the use of a ratio- nal order based on a system of land measurement using the "chain" and the "rod. This system also allows for the formation of three triangular parks. La plan de la ville de Newark, dans le New Jersey, est gtnhalement dCcrit comme "irregulier" par rapport au modble de la grille orthofonale. L'originalite de ce plan reside dans la superposition au trace urbain indien preexistant de la nouvelle cite coloniale. L'ordre du dix-septibme sibcle, inscrit aujourd'hui dans la ville moderne, se base sur des mesures d'arpentage anciennes, la "chafne" et la "perche". Les trois parcs triangulaires suivent ce systbme. 1. The Indian Connection: They Gave Way * When, in 1666 (a year remembered for London's Great Fire), Newark was settled as "Town upon Passaik River in the province of New Jersey" (Records of the Town of Newark, New Jersey, 1864). the topography of the Place was not a wilderness ' . It was an open garden once cultivated by the Lenni Lenape Indians. From village to vil- lage, hills to shores, brooks to ocean, the land had been marked.
