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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bergen and Jersey City: An Historical Souvenir of the 250th Anniversary of the Founding of Bergen The present monograph is published by the Trustees of the Free Public Library' of Jersey City as a contribution to the most important celebration ever held on New Jersey soil. The 250th anniversary of the founding of Bergen which is to be observed during the week of October 16 to 23, 1910, commemorates the establishment of the first municipal government, the first church and the first school in the State of New Jersey. Two hundred and fifty years ago a small band of hardy pioneers braved the dangers and hardships of the wilderness and planted the little village from which has grown the present Jersey City. In the following pages an effort has been made to tell the story of this wonderful growth and record some of the many interesting incidents connected with it. The facts have been gathered from records and documents owned by the Library and great care has been taken to make it accurate. Owing to the necessarily limited size of this publication it has only been possible to give a brief outline of the city's history' and many important events had to be omitted entirely. The Library, however, has in course of preparation a more complete history' of the City and County, in which these facts will be given in fuller detail. It is hoped, however, that the present publication will serve to stimulate interest in the history of our city and call the attention of the public to the fine collection of historical data contained in the Public Library.

This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorial of the Centennial Celebration of the Battle of Paulus Hook, August 19, 1879: With a History of the Early Settlement and Present Condition of Jersey City, N. J The Committee desire to express their obligations to Hon. Charles H. Winfield for a number of the plates used in this work, and also to the many business firms for their uniform courtesy and kindness in giving information and illustrations of their manufactories. The map of Paulus Hook in 1779, portraits of Major Henry Lee, Lord Stirling, lion. Dudley S. Gregory and Hon. Henry J. Hopper were made expressly for this publication; the illustrations of the procession and the meeting in the Tabernacle were used (after having been reduced in size) by permission of the publishers of The Graphic, in which paper they appeared on August 20th, 1879. The statistics given are from official sources. It was the wish of many citizens that the part relating to Jersey City should be made more comprehensive, but the committee felt that it was not their province to enlarge upon what must be the labor of some future historian. The manufactories have been selected solely with a view to exhibit the rapid growth of the city, and while many more establishments could with propriety have been added, it was not thought to be necessary or desirable, sufficient being given to illustrate the vast interests which centre here, and which have contributed in a few years - within the memory of many of its inhabitants - to transform the sand-hills and marshes of Paulns Hook into a large commercial and manufacturing emporium, which must soon become the Metropolis of the State.

Download or read book Historic Houses of New Jersey written by Weymer Jay Mills and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historic Houses of New Jersey: With Numerous Photogravure Illustrations Until now the State possessing the most inexhaustible supply of colonial, Revolutionary, and republican souvenirs has been almost neglected. Indeed, few of the original thirteen States can be compared with New Jersey in the number and importance of its landmarks. Her society, too, was as intellectual as that which sprang from the rocks of Puritanism, and it formed a brilliant pageant, rivalling the glittering line of the cavaliers. There is scarcely an acre of soil in the northern part of the State not once pressed by the foot of the Revolutionary soldier, and there are few of the many hundreds of dwellings which have survived the march of a century that did not shelter at one time or another some of the heroes of '76, or the colonial dames and daughters who played scarcely less potent parts in the drama of our struggle for freedom. This is the only book to tell the true story of the old houses of New Jersey, and such a record possesses deep significance for every American, as it has much more than a local or State interest. Of the glowing and passionate pictures of early days little more than the frames and the sentiment lingering about them now remain.

The position the State held in the momentous affairs of the middle portion of the Revolutionary -ar, when it was regarded by the veteran generals of King George as the key by which the continent was to be opened up again to British authority, was alone sufficient to exalt it to a position among the shrines of the nation, and it became one Of the spots upon which the struggle for liberty was most strenuously waged, and where it was shown that in military skill and finesse the Continentals were the equal of their adversaries, the veterans of many wars. It was there, too, that - on the glorious field of Monmouth - rose to the height of majesty as a soldier, and vindicated his right to be regarded as one of the greatest captains of his time or of any time.
