Prior to the time the latter deed and lease were made, in the fall of 1633, the first regul. r bn lings within the present limits of Jersey City Por, for that matter, Hudson County-were erceted by order of the West India Company : one was at Communipaw and the other at Ahasimus. The former was subsequently owned by Jan Evertse Font, and the latter afterward occupied by cornelis Van Vorst. Bout was com- missioned by Pauw as his superintendent in 1634, and was succeeded by Van Vorst in 1636.

Concerning the Van Vorst family, we present an interestingitem of history in an old patent or " ground brief" for a house lot at Ahasimus > (now in Jersey (ity), dated April 5. 1664. to Ide Cornelissen Van Varst. The Int, we may add, is still in possession of the Van Vorst funily, and the " ground brief " is the oblest on record in Hudson County. Following is a translation of the document :

** P STUYVESANT. " By order of the same, " Secretary."

In 1670 the region having come under the dominion of the English, Paulus Hook was confirmed to Planck by the following patent :

"ENGLISH PATENT POR PAULE'S HOOK.

"Jauns BOLLEN, Spery."

The property remained in the possession of the Planck family up to Aug. 2, 1699, when it was sold to Cornelius Van Vorst for three hundred pounds "rur- rent money of New York." Some of the neighbor- ing lands bad long been in possession of the Van Vorst family.

The Hook was used solely as farming land until 1764, when its quiet was in some measure disturbed by the travel which was brought to the place by the establishment of the first ferry. Then Michael Cor- nelisson built just north of what is now Grand Street. a house which became the first tavern in the limits of Jersey City. It was long and low, and had a huge Dutch roof, which covered a hospitable piazza ; it was near the water, and served both as ferry-house and tavern.

Horse-racing was introduced at the Hook as early as 1769 by Cornelius Van Vorst, who laid out a mile track along the high ground and around the sand- hills, with which the island abounded. These rares, which were kept up until the Revolution, were largely attended by lovers of sport from the city and the sur- rounding country, and fox hunts were occasionally introduced in Bergen woods to vary the entertain- meut of those who sought the pleasures of out-door life.

The story of the British occupation of Paulus llook, and of Light Horse Harry Lee's successful attack upon the garrison on Aug. 19, 1779, has been elaborately told by an able writer elsewhere in this volume.

After the close of the war Paulus Hook was a place of little consequence, save as the scene of Lee's exploit, and it was many years before it again became the theatre of human activity. One John Murphy had prior, to 1800, put up a small house, which became a rival of the ferry tavern, then kept by a notable character, Maj. David Hunt.

In 1802 the families of Hunt and Murphy and an individual named Joseph Bryant -- thirteen persons in all-constituted the entire population of the place.

This spot of historic ground, upon which eighty years have made such vast changes, was in its natural state little more than a cluster of sand-hills, some of them of considerable height. It comprised about sixty acres, and may be described by modern bound- aries as reaching from about midway between Hudson and Green Streets to Warren, and from Essex to a portion of Green. It is surrounded on the north and east by Harsimus or Ahasimus Cove and the Hudson River, on the south by the river and Communipaw Cove, and formerly was bounded upon the west by tide creeks and swamps, which made it virtually an island.

THE BEGINNING OF PROSPERITY .- In 1804 the Hook, which had until then remained in the owner- ship of the Van Vorst family, passed into the posses- sion of the men who were to begin the work ot build- ing a city. On the 26th of March it was conveyed, with the ferry privileges, to Anthony Dey, of New York, for an annuity of six thousand Spanish milled dollars. On the 15th of April following he conveyed it to Abraham Varick, who, upon the 20th of the same month, transferred it to Richard Varick, Jacob

JERSEY CITY.

Radcliff and Anthony Day. Of these three men, who may be regarded as the founders of Jersey City, it is proper that we should make more than incidental mention. All three were lawyers, successful and highly respected for their abilities.

Richard Varick, the senior of the enterprising trio, had a large experience of life prior to the time he he- rame one of the proprietors of Paulus Honk. Born in 1752, he was licensed to practice law in 1774, ap pointed military secretary-general the following year, and in 1776 appointed by Congress, deputy con mis- sary-general of musters for the Northern army, with the rank of lieutenant-colonel. He was, after Burgoyne's surrender, stationed at West Point, and subsequently became a member of Washington's mili- tary household and the general secretary. After the evacuation of New York by the British, in 1783, he was appointed recorder of the city, and in 1789 Was appointed mayor of the city and chosen Attorney-Gen- eral of the State. The esteem in which he was held by the Revolutionary officers is indicated by the fact that he was for thirty years retained by the order of the Cincinnati as its president. His death of- curred in Jersey City, July 30, 1831.

Anthony Dey, born at Preakness, Bergen Co., in 1776, was the son of Gen. Richard Dey, and the grandson of Col. Tunis Dey, both officers of the Revolutionary army, and he was the lineal descend- ant of Derrick Dey, a Holland settler in New Am- sterdam in 1640. He was a cousin of Col. Richard Varick, and studied Inw wtib him in New York, and to him was largely indebted for his early success. He became very wealthy, and was foremost in nearly all of the movements of his time in New York City und in that part of Bergen County now Hudson. Ile owned large tracts of meadow land along the Hacken- sack and Passaic Rivers, and at one time possessed the entire tract now known as East Newark. Ile died in 1859, in what is now a part of Jersey City.

Jacob Radelitl, the third of the trio of city founders, like the others, was a lawyer. He was the eldest son of William Radcliff, a captain and brigadier- general in the Revolutionary army. Beginning practice in Poughkeepsie, he was soon elevated to the bench of the Supreme Court. Resigning after a compara- tively short period of service, he removed to New York, resumed the practice of his profession, and he- came very popular. He was mayor of New York from 1810 to 1817.

Reverting, after this digression among personal matters, to those more closely historical, we find that the new proprietors at once divided their property into one thousand shares, and associated with them- selves other persons. They employed Joseph F. Mangin to plot and map the town. The map, elated April 15th, was duly finished and labeled with the legend " A Map of that part of the Town of Jersey commonly called Powles Hook." On the 12th of April the owners advertised a sale of lots for the 16th,

which was afterwards postponed to the loth of May. " It is probable," says Winfield, " that this sale was precipitated by the advertisement of John stevens for a sale of lots in Hoboken. ' The owners, now well embarked in the enterprise, agreed upon a name for their future corporation, and gave notice of an appli- cation to the Legislature for an act of incorporation. The l'entinel of Freedom, published in Newark, in its issue of March 13, 1-0f. thus speaks of the specula- tion

" We understand that Anthony Des R hard Sarah and Ja ob Raul- Ife, Haga, of the city of New York have altul and fr m Mr Van Vorst a perpetual lease of the le Land prem are known by the Date of Pow les Hook. Application has been made to our legislature ir al ue't of In corporation for themselves and aus alesund have given to present a bill at the next sitting. It is contemplated to level the place att lay out a regularly planned rity. It wol be Inul out in one thousand luts valued at one hundred dollar each, requiring of every original adven- THEPY NIA Jur cout., which amounts la mix thousand lollar equil t the wu agreed to be fald Mr Van Vorst annually We further under tand that some of the most wealthy and influential citizens both of New > sk and this State have embarked in the undertaking and who knows but that a very few years will make it the emporium of trade and . m mere of the State of New Jersey

The act alluded to was passed upon the 10th of November, 104, and incorporated the " Associates of the Jersey Company," and to that body Varick. Dey and Radcliff conveyed Paulus Hook, Feb. 1. 1:05. The affairs of the company were administered by nine directors. The corporation ruled the little town for fifteen years.

INCORPORATION. - Jersey City was incorporated by act of Jan. 28, 1820. It was then bounded on the west by a creek and ditch which separated the lands of "the Associates of Jersey Company from those of l'ornelius Van Vorst (about where Warren Street now is), east by the river, north by Harsimus Cove (First Street), and south by Communipaw Cove (South Street)." The aet provided for the election of a board of five free- holders to conduct the affairs of the city, and appointed five to serve until such time as an election should be held, viz .: Dr. John Condit, Samuel Cassedly, Joseph Lyon, John K. Goodman and John Leaman.

Up to the 22d of February, 1838, Jersey t'ity re- mained a part of Bergen, but upon that date it became a separate municipality under the corporate title of the " Mayor and Common Council of the city of Jer- sey." The boundaries were extended on the 8th of March, 1839, westerly along the northerly side of First Street to the centre of Grove Street, thence southerly into Communipaw Bay to the line of South Street extended.

The city received a new charter on March 18, 1551, under the provisions of which the township of Van Vorst was absorbed. The annexation was voted upon in Jersey City and Van Vorst township, the former casting 459 ballots in favor of the measure out of a total of 195, and the latter 377 for, out of a total of 426. By this charter the city was divided into four wards; two others were erected on the 28th of Febru- ary, 1861, the Seventh on the 21st of March, 1867, and the Eighth on March 17. 1870.

HISTORY OF HUDSON COUNTY, NEW JERSEY.

A far-reaching measure of consolidation was under- taken and carried out in 1569. On the 2d of April of that year an act passed the Legislature providing for a vote by the electors of the several cities and townships in the country east of the Hackensack River, to decide upon their union under one govern-

Thus Jersey t'ity, Bergen' and Hudson City2 were united. In the following year, on March 17th, the Legislature passed an enactment tor the government of the consolidated city. The territory was divided into sixteen wards, the eight of the old Jersey City being retained and numbered from one to eight, those of Hudson City being numbered from nine to twelve, inclusive, and the wards of Bergen being numbered thirteen to sixteen, inclusive. Iu ISTI the local gov- crument was reorganized, the wards being abolished, and aldermanic districts, six in number, established in their stead. In 1873 the township of Greenville

' Th bounds of Bergen township were fixed by the grant of Governor Stuyvesant in 1661. By the erection of cities and other townshipw ite to ritory was greatly reduced, and on the 24th of March, 185, it was erected into the town of Bergen. It's charter was amended by art of Mar h |1, 1X '2, and again by art of March 29, 1866. The city of Ber- gen www incorporated March 11, 1868. Its mayors, during the period of Its existence as a separate rity, were as follows 1866. Heury Fitch ; 1847. Juhn 1 . Cornelison ; 180's, JJohn Hilton : 1869, Stephen Harrison.

" The terr tory of Hudson fity w a taken from the township of North Bergen " March & 15 %, and in orporated as the " T wn of Hodson in the fronts of Hudsen."
