There are over 2,400 firms engaged in manufactures in this city, and over twelve hundred distinct branches of manufacture carried on within its limits. The history of Newark dates back about 225 years, when the place was first settled by a colony of sturdy New Englanders. Nearly or quite forty years after the landing of the Pilgrims on the rock- bound shores of New England, the religious differences of opinion among colonists of the Plymouth and adjacent settlements, had increased to such an ex- tent, that it was thought best by some of the leading spirits of two of the towns of the colonies, that new fields should be occupied, and fuller opportunities given for the cultiva- tion of religious thought and action. The New Netherlands, now known as New York, that had been discovered and occupied by the Dutch in the early part of the centur,-, appeared in the judgment of the Puritans of New England, who were seeking for fresh fields and pasture new, to be best adapted for the planting and culture of that form of ecclesiastical polity known as the Congregational form of Church •Government. The fame of the goodly land of the ".A.chter Kull," as the country that lay beyond the ^'Noordt River," as the river was styled, Hudson then had reached New England, and the settlers at Branford and Milford in Connecticut, appointed a committee to investigate the possibilities of founding a colony in this region of the "Achter Kull," beyond "Noordt River." A correspondence was opened between this committee and Petrus Stuyvesant, the then Governor General of the New Netherlands ITS POINTS OF INTEREST. 4 NEWARK AND committee made the of "Our Towne on the Passayak."

And that a coppie of it so signed and Northeast Corner Broad and Market Street. sealed and Authentically Attested may be procured for the English Planted under the Duch, to be by them kept among their publique Records for ye benefit of Posteritie. The Director-General and Council of the New Netherlands, agreed to the first two propositions and also to the third, with certain modifications. The fourth and si.xth propositions were granted, and it was stated in regard to the fifth proposition, that none of the towns in the New Netherlands are "troubled with Inhabitance, the which doe not Lyke her or her Magistrates. The outcome of these negotiations was that in the Spring of i666, two diminutive vessels after care- fully passing from the harbor of New York, through the Kill von Cull, and into Newark bay, ascended the Pasaic river and landed their passengers on the shore of that river, where the city of Newark now stands. On the 23d and 24th of June, 1664, the Duke of York had transferred what now constitutes New NEWARK AND ITS POINTS OF INTEREST. 7 Jersey to Lords Berkley and Carteret. Philip Carteret, a nephew of Lord Carteret, was appointed Gover- nor, and on arriving in New Jersey, took up his residence in Elizabeth. The Governor dispatched messengers to New England, who made known to the colonists there the fact that they would be wel- come to New Jersey, and would receive civil and religious privileges no where excelled. Tradition has it that the colony which came from Milford numbered about thirty persons, male and female. A treaty was made on the 21st of May 1666 with the Indians by which the land on which Newark stands was purchased. The Indian bill of sale sets forth that Wapamuck and Wanvesene, Peter Captamni, Wecaprokikan, Napsann, Pesawae, Lessom, Mamustome, Cacanakque and Harish, Indians belonging now to Hakinsae the proprietors of a certain tract of land lying on the west of Pesayak river, sell to Obadiah Buen, Samuel Ketchell, Michael Tompkins, John Browne and Robert Denison, "a certain tract of Land, Upland and Meadows of all sorts, Wether Swamps, Rivers, Brooks, Springs, Fishings, Trees of all sorts Quaries and Mines, or meatals of what sort soever.

Insights into Victoria’s role and impact in Newark, particularly those connected to its extensive preK-12 education grantmaking, were gleaned through an analyses of the evolution of Newark, the history of education in Newark, and the history of foundations in America. Several themes emerged from the research, an examination of the archives, and 28 oral history interviews including: charity vs. philanthropy, risk-taking, scattershot grantmaking, self-reflection, issues of race, and evaluation.

  • Transportation Trips, Excursions, Special Journeys, Outings, Tours, and Milestones In, To, from Or Through New Jersey
    TRANSPORTATION TRIPS, EXCURSIONS, SPECIAL JOURNEYS, OUTINGS, TOURS, AND MILESTONES IN, TO, FROM OR THROUGH NEW JERSEY Bill McKelvey, Editor, Updated to Mon., Mar. 8, 2021 INTRODUCTION This is a reference work which we hope will be useful to historians and researchers. For those researchers wanting to do a deeper dive into the history of a particular event or series of events, copious resources are given for most of the fantrips, excursions, special moves, etc. in this compilation. You may find it much easier to search for the RR, event, city, etc. you are interested in than to read the entire document. We also think it will provide interesting, educational, and sometimes entertaining reading. Perhaps it will give ideas to future fantrip or excursion leaders for trips which may still be possible. In any such work like this there is always the question of what to include or exclude or where to draw the line. Our first thought was to limit this work to railfan excursions, but that soon got broadened to include rail specials for the general public and officials, special moves, trolley trips, bus outings, waterway and canal journeys, etc. The focus has been on such trips which operated within NJ; from NJ; into NJ from other states; or, passed through NJ. We have excluded regularly scheduled tourist type rides, automobile journeys, air trips, amusement park rides, etc. NOTE: Since many of the following items were taken from promotional literature we can not guarantee that each and every trip was actually operated. Early on the railways explored and promoted special journeys for the public as a way to improve their bottom line.

  • 2. EXISTING CONDITIONS 2.1 History of Circulation in Jersey City 2.2
    Jersey City Master Plan / Circulation Element 2. EXISTING CONDITIONS As part of the background work in developing this Circulation Element, a detailed assessment of the history of circulation in Jersey City and an inventory of the baseline conditions of the City’s transportation system were prepared. 2.1 History of Circulation in Jersey City Photo Source: Jersey City Division of City Planning Strategically located on the Hudson River and with easy access to Upper New York Bay, the City of Jersey City was an important center for shipping and maritime activity during the peak of the industrial revolution of the early nineteenth century. This status was reinforced when the Morris Canal was completed at Jersey City in 1836, giving the City shared direct linkage with the Delaware River at Phillipsburg and with important inland points, such as Newark and Paterson. Jersey City continued to serve as a transit point between Upper New York Bay and inland points to the west, but as the industrial revolution progressed, new technologies enabled the development of newer, more efficient forms of transport than canals. Consequently, railroads followed and terminals were constructed along the Hudson River waterfront and other points in the City. One example is the historic Central Railroad of New Jersey Terminal, which originally opened in 1864 and is located in what is now Liberty State Park. With terminals located on the Hudson River, it was not long before ideas about a rail linkage to New York City began to evolve. This led to the construction of what is now known as the Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH) train, which commenced operations in 1907 after many arduous years of tunneling under the Hudson River.

The CLI is an evaluated inventory of all landscapes having historical significance that are listed on or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, or are otherwise managed as cultural resources through a public planning process and in which the NPS has or plans to acquire any legal interest. The CLI identifies and documents each landscape’s location, size, physical development, condition, landscape characteristics, character-defining features, as well as other valuable information useful to park management. Cultural landscapes become approved CLIs when concurrence with the findings is obtained from the park superintendent and all required data fields are entered into a national database.
