TtidiKi' NEW JERSEY PUBLISHING COMPANY, NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J. J 1 >n^ I FJew Jepsev , One of the MidtUe Atlantic States and one of the orij^inal thirtoou, is bounded N. by New York, E. by the Hudson Kiver and the Athmtic Ocean, S. by the Atlantic Ocean and Delaware Bay, and W. l^y the Delaware Bay and lliver, which separate it from Delaware and Pennsyl- vania. It covers an area of 7815 square miles, its greatest length being 107^4 miles from lat. 38 56' to 41'^ 21' N., with an extreme breadth of 59 miles in W. Ion. 73*' C V and 75" 33'. At the narrowest point, between Bordentown and South / Jiboy, the State is about 35 miles in width. It has a direct coast line of 120 miles, and besides its bordering rivers, the Hudson and Delaware, its principal streams are the Passaic, Hackensack, and Earitan. Topographically New Jersey is characterized by three well marked divisions. The northern portion of the State is hilly and monutainous, ^^e- ing traversed in a direction S. E. and N. W. by the Blue or Kittatinnv ud the Highland ranges of moimtains, the former of which rise to an altitude of 1800 feet near the New York line, and thence form an imbrokeu ridge to "the Delaware Water Gap," while the latter reach their highest point at Rutherford's Hill or Hamburg Mountain, which is 1488 feet above the sea. Between these ranges lies the beautiful and fertile Kittatinny Valley, about 39 miles in length by 10 in breadth, and at an elevation of from 500 to C50 feet. Some twenty miles east of the Highland Range the Palisades, a wall of perpendicular trap-rocks, from 200 to 500 feet high, sti*etch along the western bank of the Hudson for 15 miles, forming one of the grandest features of its scenery. The central portion of the State is a rolUng country, and the remaining three-fifths extending south and eastward, are nearly level, the Navesink Hills opposite Sandy Hook, 375 feet above the sea, being the principal elevations. Much of the southern part is sandy and covered by pine forests. The iive geological belts crossing tlie State from N. E. to S. W. abound in mineral wealth. The Silurian and Devonian formations of the N. W. furnish large quantities of excellent roofing-slate, building- and fiag- Btones, magnesian limestone and rich hematites. The Highland or Shaw- POCKET GAZETTEER OF NEW JERSEY. angunk Mountains are generally of stratified azoic rocks, and afford zinc ores, Franklinite, gneiss, and magnetic iron ores. Southeast of these comes a triassic plateau, mucli broken by trap-dikes, and j'ielding copper ores, red sandstone for building uses, etc., and still further southeast is a belt of the cretaceous -with extensive deposits of pure marl, clay marl and shell marls, molding sand, fire clay, porcelain and potter's clay of excellent quality. The remainder of the State is mainly of the tertiary and quarter- nary times, furnishing such usefiil geological products as bog iron ox'e, peat, and glass sand. Grapjjite or plumbago occurs in several parts of Morris and Passaic counties, and has been mined ^Yith profit ; nickel has also been discovered, but in small quantities. Altogether mineralogists enumerate iipwards of 160 different minerals found in the State. A large portion of all the building- and paving-stones for the great cities around New York Bay are supplied by this State, and Trinity Church in New York City is a sample of brown sand-stone from New Jersey's quarries. The annual mean temperature of the N. end ranges from 48*^ to 50°, while that of the S. end is between 53" and 54°. The annual rainfall is about 44 inches. In the neighborhood of the marshes malarial diseases prevail, but as a whole the State is eminently healthful. Among its industrial resources the agriculture of New Jersey forms a very important interest. There are 59,214 persons engaged in the culti- vation of the 34,307 farms in the State. The average value per acre is $82.52 for cleared land, and '^^56.82 for wood-land. The live-stock is re- ported to be worth about $30,000,000. Hay, cereal grains, sweet and other potatoes constitute the principal crops, aggregating a value of about $25,000,000 annually ; apples, cider, pears, peaches, black-berries, rasp- berries, strawberries, etc. are also important products, and the sales of milk, butter, wood, hops, tobacco, grass- clover- garden- and flower-seeds, nursery trees and plants foot up a large total. Cranberry culture is a liberal source of revenue in the marsh region near the coast, the proceeds for a single year having amounted to $3,000,000, A>hile market-gardening is carried on extensively and profitably throughout the central sections near New York and Philadelphia. Another successful industry is found in the fisheries of the State, which include deep-sea-fishing, the oyster- trade, the taking of shad, bass, sturgeon, etc. in the rivers, and the cap- ture of menhaden and other fish for oil and fish guano. Small menhaden 1 POCKET GAZETTEER OF NEW JERSEY, are packed in oil and sold for sardines. The anchovy abounds in the waters of New Jersey, and the highly-prized bluefifih, slicepslicad, and Spanish mackei'el are extensively caught. The State has a board of fish commissioners, who have done much for the advancement of the fresh- water fisheries, and have very successf ull}- stocked the Delaware with black bass. Latest reports place the value of the sea fisheries at $1,115,154, that of the oyster trade at $2,080,025. In manufactures New Jersey ranks as one of the leading states in the Union. The natural advantages of location — between the Pennsylvania coal region and the great Atlantic coast markets, — an amplitude of water power, together with excellent transportational facilities, have greatly aided the development of her resources and the growth of her enterprise. In 1880, according to the census of that year, there were 7128 manufacturing establishments in the State with invested capital of §100,220,51)3, employ- ing 120,030 hands; the wages paid during the year amounted to $40,083, 045; value of materials $105,285,779; value of products $254,380,230. Boots, shoes, brick-s, beer, cars, carriages, carpets, chemicals, clothing, cot- ton goods, fire-brick, flour, glass, hardware, hats, india-rubber goods, jewelry, leather, leathern goods, lumber, machinery, morocco, paints, sad- dlery, soap, tiles, tin-ware, trunks, wall-jiaiier, and woolen goods are among the leading articles of manufacture, and the silk mills of Paterson, the iron works in the counties of jMorris, Sussex, and "Warren, the steel, zinc, and blacklead works of Jersey City, and the potteries of Trenton are all noted for the extent of their production and the excellence of their work. The development of the iron industry has been steady and rapid, the pro- duction having increased from about 10,000 tons in 1790 to 757,372 tons o( ore mined in 1880, while the annual production of zinc ore has ranged from 15,000 to 22,000 tuns for a number of years. The aggregate amount of plastic clays dug annually from a belt of superior quality in Middlesex County is 250,000 tons, worth at least $1,000,000. New Jersey is divided into six customs districts, of which the ports of entry are Newark, Perth Amboy, Great Egg Har1)or, Tuekerton, Bridgeton, and Lamberton. There is a large coasting but a small foreign trade, the latter passing almost entirely through New York and Philadelphia. Be- sides the coast line and the principal streams already mentioned there are the AVallkill, Navesiuk, Shark, Matasquau, Metedeconk, Tom's, Little Egg 6 POCKET G.VZETTEER OP NEW JERSEY. Harbor, Great Egg Harbor, Maurice, Cohansey, Rancocas, Millstoue, Mus- conetcong, and Paiilinskill rivers. Of these a number in the lower part of the State are navigable tidal streams which, with the " thoroughfares," or navigable channels in the salt marshes, afford considerable extent of inland navigation. This is still farther increased by the Morris canal, extending 101 miles from Jersey City to Phillipsburg, and by the Delaw^are and Rar- itan canal, connecting Bordentown on the Delaware with New Brunswick on the Earitau, a distance of 43 miles, exclusive of a feeder, 22 miles long, from Bull's Island to Trenton. The latter canal is a channel of steamboat communication between New York and Philadelphia. Along the eastern coast there is a series of bays and sounds fenced from the ocean by long spits of sand, broken by inlets, and here a great number of summer re- sorts have sprung up ; the best known among these are Long Branch, Asbury Park, Ocean Grove, Atlantic City, Beach Haven, Barnegat, Tuck- erton, and Cape Ma}'. Other places of interest in the State are the Dela- ware Water Gap, at Dunnfield; Passaic Falls, atPaterson; Lake Green- W'ood in Passaic County ; Lake Hopatcong in Morris County ; and the mineral spring at Schooley's Mountain, one of the many 'ridges of the Highland Range. Twenty-one railroads with their numerous branches traverse the State, affording excellent accommodations, and paj'ing a large annual revenue into the treasury of the Commonwealth. The educational facilities are ample and excellent. According to the last census there are 1558 school buildings in the State, 203,508 puj^ils en- rolled in the public schools, and 3332 teachers. Graded schools are sus- tained throughout the more populous districts. A large and flourishing State normal and model school is located at Trenton, and a preparatory training-school at Beverly, besides several city normal or teachers' insti- tutes. The College of New Jersey (Presbyterian) with affiliated theologi- cal and scientific schools is at Princeton ; New Brunswick is the seat of Rutgers College (Reformed), also with a scientific and a theological seminary, and of the State Agricultural College ; Seton Hall, at South Oraiige, is a Romaii Catholic college; and Burlington College is an Epis- copalian institution. The Drew Theological Seminary (Methodist) is at Madison ; a German Presbyterian divinity school at Bloomfield ; and the Stevens Institute of Technology at Hoboken. In addition to those there ai'e numerous private establishments, many of them of high character. POCKET GAZETTEER OF NEW JERSEY. Besides the normal and model schools the State institutions comprise the New Jerse}' School for Deaf-Mutcs, the Soldiers' Homo, two lunatic as3'lunis, a Reform school for boys, an industrial school for girls, and the state prison. These are located in and near Trenton, except the Soldiers' Home, which is in Newark, the boys' Reform school in Jamesbiirg, and one of the lunatic asylums at Morris Plains.

Trenton is and lias been the State Capital since 1790. There the affairs of state are conducted by a governor, chosen every three years, and a legislature consisting of a senate of 21, and an assembly of GO members, convening the second Tuesday in January of each year. Senators are elected for 3 years, representatives for 1 year. Judges are appointed by the governor, subject to the approval of the senate, and serve for fixed terms. Tlio general election is held annually on the first Tuesday after tlie first ^loiulay in November. New Jersey has 300,035 voters and 9 electoral votes. The earliest colony of New Jersey was probably planted at Bergen be- tween IGl-i and 1G20, (although historians are not agreed concerning the first settlements,) by the Dutch, who maintained possession until 1GG4, when the country passed to the English with New York, and the Duke of York finally made over the whole to L)rd Berkeley and Sir George Carteret, from wht>se native island of Jersey the pri)vinces were named. During the Duke of York's possession land grants west of New York Bay were made to colonists from New England, who began the settlements at Newark, Eliza- beth, Middletowu, and Shrewsbury. Elizabeth was made the seat of ' ' SI government in 1GG5 and Philip Carteret was the first governor of New Jersey, in which office he ccmtiuucd till 1G74, when the Dutch recaptured New York and New Jersey. But Great Britain regained possession by treaty the same year. In the meantime William Pcnu and other Quakers had bought Lord Berkeley's interest in the province, and in 1G82, by addi- tional purchases, they became jn'oprietors of New Jersey with Robert 8 POCKET GAZETTEER OF NEW JERSEY. Barclay', a Scotchman and one of the associate purchasers, as the first governor under the new ownershij). Thus the counti'y remained for 20 years, enjojdng a period of peace and prosperity. In 1702 the proprietary rights of the purchasers were ceded back to the crown, and New Jersey remained under the same royal governor wdth New York until 1708, Avhen on the petition of the colony to have a separate administration, Lewis Morris was made governor of New Jerse.y, which then had a population of 40,000. The last governor for the English crown was William Franklin, eon of Benjamin Franklin, who was appointed in 1763, and deposed, put under guard, and sent to Connecticut a prisoner on June 25, 177G. A State constitution was adopted on July 2, 1776, which was ratified on the 18th, and which remained in force until August 1844, when the present constitution superseded. Throughout the Revolution New Jersey was the scene of manj' stu'ring events, the important battles of Trenton, Princeton, Millstone, Red Bank, and Monmouth having been fought on her soil, and during the war of 1861-1865 some of her regiments were among the most effective in the national service.

Bakbeu, editor ami proprietor of rhe Const itti- tion at Woodbury, N. J. and which will uo doubt prove Inlcrestlu^ news to many of our readers, being without a parallel In the history of the State. ■■ In 1C64 king Charles II. granted all the country between the Delaware and Connecticut rivers to his brother, the Duke of York, who soon after sold the province of New Jersey to Sir George Carteret and Lord Berkeley. In lf.;4 Berkeley sold his moiety or one-half of t he province to John Fenwlck In trust to Edward BUUnge, who transferred the same to William Penn. Gawen Lawrle and Nicholas Lucas as trustees for the benefit of his creditors. Under ))resslng necessity they sold a considerable number of shares of their propriety to different purchasers. The trustees In July 16T6 succeeded In obtaining a sealed deed dividing the province Into two equal parts. Carteret taking East Jersey and William Penn and his associates West Jersey; each party adopting their own plan of settlement, et, but adjourned without doing any business, and there is no further record of the Assembly until 1692. No provision seems to have been made for the people living In the middle district lying be- tween IJurlington and Salem by the Assembly up to May ICSG. The Inconvenience and trouble to which they were subjected in all their public business, by the long distance to either i)lacc must ha\c been great. Acting upon tlie principle that necessity knows no law, the people set about relieving themselves. And now wc come to the organization of tlic County of Gloucester. Micklc, In his history, gives a very interesting account of it. From it we learn that on the 2t-)lh day of :May, IGSB, the proi)rietors, frecliolders, and iuhal)itants generally of tlie third and fourtli tenths, of the terri- tory between the PensauUln and Oidman's creeks, met at .\xwamu.s, and orgaulzed a jurisdic- tion or county by the adoption of what may be termed a county constitution. This curious instrument, which had ten brief paragraphs, erected two precincts into a county, ordained a regular court, provided ol'Hcers, and prescribed the mintitlic of legal practice, and also provided i-egulations for the marking of hogs and o/7w'r cattle. The following is a literal copy of this constitution taken from the oldest book of records in the Clerk's Ofllcc at Woodbury, extending froml68GtolTl2 : CONSTITUTION OF GLOFCESTER COUNTY.

This was the origin of Old Gloucester, the only county of New Jersey that derived Its ex" Istence from the direct action ol Us own people. Cordon, the historian of the State, says : " It woiUd seem that tlie Inhabitants of the county deemed themselves a body politic, a <1enu>cratic voiiiiiioinrt'diiii with full powers of legislation." The irregular proceedings of the people in forming tliemselves into a county without the action of the provincial legislature, wore undoubtedly silently actiulcsced In and recognized by the act erecting the county of Cape May in 1G92, by declaring that the provinces had "been formally divided into three counties." In 1C94 the Legislature pa.ssed a law enacting " that the two dist inctions or divisions, heretofore called the Third and Fourth Tenths, be and is hereby |ald Into one county named, and from Uenceforth to be called, nie County of Gloucester, 14 POCKET GAZETTEER OF NEW JERSEY. railroads, also by the Freehold & New York railroad.

The site whereon the city stands was formerly called Paulas Hook, but in 1820 it was chai-tered as " the Citv of Jersey," which was changed when it re-incor- porated in 1838 to " Jersey City." In 1850 it had only G85G inhabit- ants, but the annexation of the township of Van Vorst in 1851, of the cities of Hudson and Bergen in 1870, and of Greenville in 1872, largely assisted its gi'owth, which from that time has kept rapidly gaining, the population having ncai'- y doubled since 1870, when it was ^2,540 against 153,513 reported by -he State census of 1885. Jersey City is thvided into G dis- ricts, from which ai'e elected alder- Qen, fire and police commissioners, nd freeholders ; the mayor appoints he memljers of the l)oard of educa- ion, who elect a city superintendent nd control the pubhc schools, which umber 38, including annexes, with Q enrollment of neai'ly 50,000 chil- ren, and with about 340 teachers.

The city has a well equipped fire department, an eflScient pohce force, good city and county buildings, excellent water works, sewerage, gas, and electric light. j There are over 70 churches repre- [ senting 15 diflerent denominations, a number of charitable institutions, including 3 hospitals, the aged wom- en's home, and an orphanage, 4 public squares, a public librai-y of ' 6000 volumes, an academy of music, ; an opera house, 2 daily and 7 week- ly newspapers, — 2 of the latter Ger- man, — 4 insurance companies, 35 l:)uilding loan associations, 5 nation- al and 3 savings banks. Large st(jck yards, and an abattoir ai'c lo- ( cated in the northern part of the city, where the slaughtering of ani- mals for the New Y'ork market is I carried on extensively. Jersey City is the seat of considerable foreign com- merce, of which, however, no sepa" [ rate returns can be obtained on ac- count of its being a part of the New York customs district, and it also derives a large business from the inuueuse quantities of coal brought 86 POCKET GAZETTEER OF NEW JERSEY. hither by the canal and the rail- roads. Its manufacturing interests are varied and imi:)ortant, the United States census of 1880 reporting 584 factories in operation with capital of $11,899,915 ; total value of products $60,473,905. Of these the principal establishments are the Lorillards' tobacco works, the United States watch factory, extensive glass works, crucible works, steel, zinc, and ii'on- works, boiler works, machine shops, foundries, railroad re^mir and su]3- ply shops, locomotive works, sugar refineries, breweries, and manufac- tories of chains and spikes, medals, car springs, iron, brass, and copper goods, potter}', soap, candlas, oils, di'ugs, dyes, saleratus, oakum, rub- ber goods, jewehy, fire-works, lead- pencils, etc., and it is worthy of re- mark, that the mints of Europe, as well as those of this country, obtain their crucibles from the works of Jersey City.
