New Jersey City’s history
After the Dutch settled in the contemporary New York City area, one of them, Michael Reyniersz Pauw, received a land grant from the Dutch West India Company, on the condition that he would establish a settlement of not fewer than fifty persons within four years. Pauw chose the land on west bank of the Hudson River and bought it. The grant is dated November 22, 1630 and is the earliest known conveyance for New Jersey City. Because of his negligence, Pauw had to sell his land back to the Company three years later. After a new superintendant for the colony was chosen, it started to develop quickly and soon was named Pavonia, after its original founder. A conflict with indigenous people, caused by misunderstandings between them and colonists, evolved into Kieft’s War, During the American Revolutionary War, the area was in the hands of the British who controlled New York. The city was successfully incorporated for the first time in 1820, as a part of Bergen County. In 1829, Jersey was reincorporated and in 1838, it became independent from North Bergen County and was given its present name. In the next years, New Jersey started to develop as transportation hub, thanks to New Jersey Railroad and Transportation Company.
