This area of New Jersey was settled in 1665, making it one of
earliest communities on the East Coast of America. Read about
English settlers and local Indians making peace before the gradual
development of the land into commercial and residential areas.
Maritime trade, railroads, and political divisions have left their
marks on this place during many phases of development. Many styles
of architecture are seen in the 360 images of buildings, parks,
churches, and municipal attractions.
Here is an illustrated view of Jersey City, New Jersey, presented
with the view that history is not some group of facts hidden in
dusty tomes, but is happening all the time around us. The history
and development of eight distinct sections are described: the
waterfronts (North and Central), Downtown, Communipaw-Lafayette,
Bergen, Journal Square, The Heights, and Greenville, from the 1600s
to the present. With the help of more than 340 color and black and
white photographs and other media, a fascinating vision of people,
places, and change is presented; a vision that looks forward as
well as back. A well-researched volume that will pique an interest
in this "Monumental" city.
