    •South o(the Iflfjountaind published by The Historical Society of Rockland County Orangeburg, New York Vol. 16, No. 1 January - March, 1972 ROCKLAND COUNTY IN WASHINGTON’S DAY From an address by the late Dr. LcRoy E. Kimball of Tomkins Cove at the Washington Bi-Centennial Celebration at West Haverstraw on June 14, 1932 as reported in the Rockland County Evening Journal. Dr. Kimball was comptroller of New Yor\ University until his retirement. He also served as president of the New Yorl{ Historical Society and of The American Scenic and Historical Preserva­ tion Society. We are gathered here today as friends and residents of the Haverstraw com­ munity, in this beautiful setting of the Highlands of the Hudson, to celebrate, if only for a brief moment, the memory of that man whose achievements and life will be a perpetual inspiration to Americans, George Washington. You are all familiar with the events of this great and good man’s career and the brief references which we have time for at this time will allude largely to Revolutionary happenings in this section of the Hudson Valley. It is fitting indeed that we should celebrate the two hundredth anniversary of George Washington’s birth and his service to our country in this particular spot. Whether it was in the minds of the Committee or not when they chose this location, the historical records show that we are standing within what we might call a stone’s throw of the corners where the Military Highway leading from King’s Ferry split, one road wending easterly down through West Haverstraw, Haverstraw, the old Long Clove, Tappan and to New Jersey, and the other westerly through what is now Garnerville, Ladentown, Kakiat and Suffern, to northwestern New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

  • Palisades Historic Trails Information
    THE PALISADES HISTORIC TRAILS Dedicated, September 19, 1976 For registered: Boy Scout Troops, Explorer Posts, Venture Crews, and Scouters Sponsored by: The Northern New Jersey Council Boy Scouts of America 25 Ramapo Valley Road, PO Box 670 Oakland, New Jersey, 07436 201-677-1000 www.nnjbsa.org With the consent and cooperation of the Palisades Interstate Park Commission (New Jersey Section) And New York-New Jersey Trail Conference IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON THE PALISADES HISTORIC TRAILS WHAT DOES "PALISADES" IN PALISADES HISTORIC TRAILS MEAN? What do the Palisades look like? "Palisade" originally meant a fence of stakes or wall of logs set in the ground, usually to surround and protect a settlement. Obviously early explorers or settlers believed that the tall columns of rock along the river looked like palisades and gave them that name, TRAILS: The Palisades Historic Trails are made up of portions of the Long Path, on top of the cliffs, and the Shore Trail, under the cliffs by the Hudson River. Both stretch between Fort Lee Historic Park and Northern New Jersey Council's Camp Alpine, Alpine, NJ. They are connected at the south and north ends by other trails. The Long Path (Fort Lee - Camp Alpine) is 11.3 miles long and requires at least 5 1/4 hours of hiking, not including stops. The Shore Trail (Fort Lee - Camp Alpine) is 12.5 miles long and requires at least 6 1/4 hours of hiking, not including stops. (It is the more strenuous of the two.) The trails are closed in December, January and February - and anytime the Palisades Interstate Park Commission officials consider them unsafe.

  • Next to Washington, He Was the Greatest Figure in American History in His Generation
    “ . next to Washington, he was the greatest figure in American history in his generation . .” —William H. Richardson Jersey City Historian, 1934 Richard Varick of Hackensack | Robert Leslie Cohen www.GardenStateLegacy.com Issue 34 December 2016 he flowing river and the area around it was called by the TLenape Hocquaan (hook) and sauk (mouth of a river).1 The sound of these words led the early Dutch settlers to call it Hackingh, as a hook, and by 1645, Hackinkeshacky which became Hackensack by 1685.2 Hackensack in the mid-1700s was a charming village of “Jersey Dutch tranquility and prosperity.”3 The village green had a sandstone Dutch church on the north side and next to it stood the small stone courthouse of Bergen County. By 1733, several weavers, a saddler, a blacksmith, and a schoolteacher had all settled in a hamlet, along with two doctors and a tavern. There were also a slave quarters, bolting house, and a dock built on Doctor’s Creek, a small tributary of the Hackensack River that has long since been filled in, and one on the Hackensack River. There was a road and ferry network that had developed connecting Hackensack with New York City and with the hinterland to the west.4 But most of all at the time of Richard Varick’s birth, March 25, 1753, Hackensack was a little farming village as well as county seat. There were no names on any of the streets, but off the village green there were some homes— including the Varick’s where the present day court house parking lot starts—there was what was called Front Street and Back Street.

New York played a major role in the early history of the nation, with several remnants of its colonial past still standing today. Europeans first came to New York in 1524, when Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazano discovered the land while under the service of the French crown. From the time of its discovery, the state’s reputation as a melting pot began taking shape. Struggles between Dutch and British settlers marked the colonial period in New York. Famous colonial landmarks represent the blend of cultures that claimed sections of New York. Several famous places remain untouched by the passage of time. As the second largest colony and possessor of one of the American colonies' most important ports, the state of New York played a major role in the Revolutionary War. More than one-third of the war’s battles occurred in New York, with the Continental Army holding the vital Hudson River and the British controlling New York City. Visitors to New York with an interest in history will find a wealth of Revolutionary War landmarks, from battlefields in scenic parks to buildings that sheltered Revolutionary War greats.
