Paterson is a diverse, historical city in northern New Jersey. As of the 2010 census, the population was 146,199. Paterson is known as the "Silk City," due to its' silk production during the latter half of the 19th century. The city of Paterson is also home to the Great Falls of the Passaic River, a 77-foot high waterfall on the river that's surrounded by the Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park. One of the largest waterfalls in the U.S., it played a significant role in the early development of New Jersey. The falls are also part of the Great Falls of Paterson-Garret Mountain National Natural Landmark and a National Historic Landmark District. In 1791, Alexander Hamilton was one of the founders of the Society for the Establishment of Useful Manufacturers, which helped harness the energy from the falls for manufacturing. This, in turn, helped secure economic independence from Britain. The city of Paterson was founded by the society and became the "cradle" of the industrial revolution in America. A number of mills and other industries, including textiles, firearms, silk and railroad locomotive manufacturing grew up in the area. Silk production became the dominant industry in the last half of the 19th century. The city of Paterson has several different neighborhoods. The most famous is the Great Falls Historic District. Many artists live in this area and a major revitalization effort is underway to restore this neighborhood. Downtown Paterson is the main commercial district, while Eastside Park Historic District contains about 1,000 homes of various styles, including Tudors, Victorians, Georgian and Dutch Colonials. Other attractions in the city include the Paterson Museum, founded in 1925 and located in the Great Falls Historic District.
