(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Paterson is a city located in Passaic County, New Jersey. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 149,222. It is the county seat of Passaic County6.

The Great Falls of the Passaic River in Paterson are the second-highest large-volume falls on the East Coast: only Niagara Falls are higher. Alexander Hamilton helped encourage the harnessing of the energy of the Great Falls to secure the independence from British manufacturers, and Paterson became the cradle of the industrial revolution in America. Paterson was named for William Paterson, New Jersey governor, statesman, and signer of the Constitution.
