Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From its primordial inception as a Dutch trading post on the left bank of the Hudson River to its late-19th-century reign as one of the world's great industrial centers and transportation termini, Jersey City has always been a city about people--the bold pioneers who reshaped its forested hills and elevated landscapes into a major municipality brimming with immigrant-filled neighborhoods, from which emerged even more distinct personalities. Legendary Locals of Jersey City highlights these timeless citizens, including Peter Stuyvesant, the director-general of New Netherland who rescued fledgeling settlements besieged by wars with the Lenni Lenape; Erminnie Smith, who launched an immensely popular intellectual society and salon in 1876; Hugh Roberts, the falsely accused over-spending architect of the majestic Hudson County Court House; Dr. Lena Edwards, winner of the 1964 Presidential Medal of Freedom; Helene Stapinski, national bestselling author; and Anthony Carrino and John Colaneri, stars of the hit HGTV series Kitchen Cousins and dedicated Jersey City developers.

Download or read book Jersey City of To Day written by Walter Gregory Muirheid and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jersey City of to-Day: Its History, People, Trades, Commerce, Institutions and Industries There were people in Jersey City in 1870. To-day there is, therefore, an increase of about 200 per cent. At this rate of growth Jersey City will be a city of in 1936, but there are none who will not admit that she will have reached the million mark by that time. There are factors of progress to-day that never existed before, and these factors will so materially increase the ratio of increase that the most Optimistic prophet of to-day will be unable to tell what will be the population of Jersey City in 1936. The figures as given above are most conservative, and are based upon the percentage of increase during the past twenty-nine years. They do not take into account the subways, river tunnels and other factors of progress, whose influence is now beginning to be felt. Those agencies, it is believed, will increase the rate of growth so that Jersey City will in all probability have a population of long before 1936. Jersey City is the county seat of Hudson County, the smallest county in point of area yet the most densely populated in the state, the population of the county numbering and comprising thirteen municipalities, divided into two sections of ten and three municipalities each, separated by the Hackensack meadows. The smaller of these two groups comprises what is known as West Hudson and, because of its distance from the county 'seat, forms a locality of its own. The larger group is one great city, the border line separating the various municipalities being the centre of a street, so that the average outsider would not be aware of the fact that he had passed from one municipality to another. This group of municipalities comprises a population of and it is only a question of a few years when it will become a greater Jersey City. Efforts in the direction of consolidation have been under way for some time, but thus far the actual result has not been accomplished, though both commercial and topographic conditions all tend towards the eventful merger ofjersey City, Bayonne, Hoboken, West Hoboken, Union Hill, Weehawken, North Bergen and the smaller towns of Guttenberg, West New York and Secaucus as one great municipality.

Download or read book Railroads of Hoboken and Jersey City written by Kenneth French and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With over two hundred historical photographs, Railroads of Hoboken and Jersey City explores the cultural and commercial effects of railway travel in two important New Jersey cities. Because of their unique location directly across the Hudson River from Manhattan, Hoboken and Jersey City have long been centers of transportation activity. When the railway industry was booming in the early twentieth century, four major passenger terminals dotted the left bank of the Hudson from the Jersey Central to the Pennsylvania to the Erie to the Lackawanna. Thousands of people streamed through these terminals every day to the ferries that then took them across the river to New York City. Additionally, tons of freight were brought through the vast train yards along the waterfront. Railroads of Hoboken and Jersey City tells the history of the railroads between the mid-1800s and the 1970s. It also explores how the once vibrant waterfronts of Hoboken and Jersey City went through tremendous decline and how, over time, the waterfront has been restored and redeveloped. New residential and commercial buildings have sprouted along the old Pennsylvania and Erie properties, the Lackawanna Terminal has been restored, and the Central Railroad Terminal is now part of Liberty State Park, one of New Jersey's most popular tourist destinations.

Download or read book Liberty State Park written by Gail Zavian and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2014 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Situated on the Hudson River, the Central Railroad of New Jersey terminal operated its railroad/maritime complex for over 100 years in this area. After its shutdown in 1967, community advocates, already lobbying for nine years, continued their successful campaign for the site to become a public park. With over 1,000 acres, Liberty State Park opened on Flag Day--June 14, 1976. Today, this recreational landscape features the Nature Interpretive Center, Liberty Science Center, and a section of the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway. Liberty State Park, in Jersey City, is the only place in New Jersey where one can board a ferry to visit Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. Liberty State Park showcases the rich cultural and environmental history of this landscape's transformation from an abandoned waterfront transportation hub into one of America's most exceptional state parks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dutch and English settlers brought the first enslaved people to New Jersey in the seventeenth century. By the time of the Revolutionary War, slavery was an established practice on labor-intensive farms throughout what became known as the Garden State. The progenitor of the influential Morris family, Lewis Morris, brought Barbadian slaves to toil on his estate of Tinton Manor in Monmouth County. Colonel Tye, an escaped slave from Shrewsbury, joined the British Ethiopian Regiment during the Revolutionary War and led raids throughout the towns and villages near his former home. Charles Reeves and Hannah Van Clief married soon after their emancipation in 1850 and became prominent citizens of Lincroft, as did their next four generations. Author Rick Geffken reveals stories from New Jersey's dark history of slavery.
