Additional Information
Located in northeastern New Jersey, Essex County is the most populous county and home to Newark in the New York Metropolitan area. Officially established in 1662, Essex has a rich history and was settled by thirty Puritanical families from Connecticut in 1633. By the late nineteenth century, Newark had become a major center for manufacturing and shipping as well as one of the busiest railroad hubs on the East Coast. As one of the oldest cities in the United States, Newark has developed a distinct culture, and its geographic location at the mouth of the Passaic River has long spurred a strong economy as one of the largest ports in the United States.
By the latter portion of the nineteenth century, New Jersey was experiencing significant growth spurred on by thriving a thriving manufacturing industry as well as the jobs created in the bustling port. The region had been one of the earliest to install a broad network of railways which increased access and spurred further population growth. Numerous immigrants had flocked to New Jersey throughout the nineteenth century from Ireland, Europe, and the southern United States. They established communities that retained rich cultural traditions, many of which exist to this day.
The establishment of factories and mills along the canal and rail routes throughout the nineteenth century transformed Essex County’s culture as the nation enjoyed a period of great prosperity nearing the turn of the century. The unique aesthetic and distinctive style immediately transport the viewer back in time.
