  • 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.

  • A Forgotten Murderer
    Maranatha Baptist Bible College A Forgotten Murderer Submitted to: William Licht Native American History HUHI 335 March 8, 2013 By Emily K. Ranch RANCH 2 Adolf Hitler is well-known for his merciless tactics with the Jews and many others in World War II. When people cite the death toll for Hitler, they generally focus on the 6 million Jews. But he was also responsible for a large number of civilian deaths, the deaths of Russian POWs, and the Jews that were killed in the years leading up to the implementation of the "final solution.” 1Although the impact of Hitler and other vicious dictators are widely known, many men who have targeted nations and killed on a smaller scale are usually over looked. Although the degree to which they killed may be smaller the evil in their tactics should never be forgotten. One such man is William Kieft. Little known and generally overlooked, this Dutch governor in early American colonization had a distinct hand in started the Wappinger War, also known as the William Kieft War, which ruthlessly massacred many Indians. The Wappinger War could have been avoided and many lives saved had it not been for William Kieft. William Kieft was born in Holland around the 1600’s where little is known about his origins. He arrived in Manhattan on March 28, 1638. When Kieft, an energetic and malevolent man, became governor in the Dutch colonies he worked quickly and effectively to put power into his own hands and reconstruct the wretched condition in which he found the New Netherlands.

  • IFTC Final Report
    CULTURAL RESOURCES INVESTIGATIONS INTERMODAL FERRY TRANSPORTATION CENTER CITY OF SOUTH AMBOY MIDDLESEX COUNTY, NEW JERSEY Prepared for: City of South Amboy Prepared by: Ian Burrow, Ph.D., RPA, Principal Investigator Patrick Harshbarger, M.A., Principal Historian July 2015 (Revised December 2015) MANAGEMENT SUMMARY This report documents the identification, evaluation of significance and both the implemented and proposed treatment of historic properties at the site of the proposed Intermodal Ferry Transportation Center (IFTC), located on the site of the former ferry terminals and rail yard facilities of the Camden and Amboy Railroad (later the Pennsylvania Railroad) in South Amboy, Middlesex County, New Jersey. The facilities form part of the Camden and Amboy Railroad (Main Line) Historic District, which the New Jersey State Historic Preservation Officer has on several occasions, beginning in 1975, determined to be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. This federally licensed and funded undertaking falls under the provisions of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, Section 4(f) of the U.S. Department of Transportation Act of 1966, and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended. Consideration of historic properties followed the Section 106 regula- tory process set forth in 36 CFR Part 800, coordinated with NEPA and Section 4(f). Beginning in late 2000, a series of studies were initiated within the defined Area of Potential Effects (APE) for this undertaking. Following an identification study for an Environmental Assessment document produced in accordance with NEPA, Phase I archaeological investigations were carried out in 2001 and 2002 in the areas immediately impacted by a proposed new access road (named Radford Ferry Road to reference the 18th-century ferry at the site) and parking area for a new passenger ferry terminal.
