Paterson, New Jersey automobile insurance coverage information

Paterson, New Jersey, has an estimated population of 154,463 people and it is situated in Passaic County. The city's nickname is "The Silk City" because it had a large amount of silk production in the late 1900s. The city has been mentioned in The Sopranos, Bob Dylan's song called "Hurricane", and The Simpsons.

Paterson was founded by the Society for the Establishment of Useful Manufacturers (S.U.M.) in 1791. The city became the epicenter for the industrial revolution of America. The city got its name from William Paterson who was the Governor of New Jersey and also signed the Constitution. The area grew well because of power which was harnessed from Great Falls - a 77 foot high falls where a system of water raceways harnessed the power of the falls. In the early half of the 1800s, the dominant businesses were the textile industry, firearms, silk, and railroad locomotive manufacturing industries. In the latter half of the 1800s, silk became the dominant industry. Patterson also became the testing site for the first submarines which were invented by John Holland. You can find two early models on display in the Patterson museum. The 1990s also saw the area get torched by several massive fires. Many of these buildings were demolished.

After WWII, Paterson began a long period of decline which is still present today. Since the 1970s the city has had a high unemployment rate. In fact, in 1980, the city was one of the most distressed cities in America. Most of the businesses have left or closed down. They are now struggling with many maladies including: Illiteracy, homelessness, unemployment, and childhood AIDS. The area didn't even benefit from the boom in the 1990s. There is hope for the city as there are some major redevelopment projects planned for The Great Falls Historic District - a part of the city of Paterson.
