The main attraction at Great Falls National Park is the Great Falls of the Passaic River. In 2011, the National Park Service took over care of the falls and the parkland around them. In terms of volume and width, the 77-foot-high falls are second only to Niagara Falls east of the Mississippi River. Hinchliffe Stadium is one of the few places where Negro League baseball is still played. It is part of the park district.
Alexander Hamilton and a group called the Society for Establishing Useful Manufactures started the town of Paterson in 1792. The Great Falls of the Passaic River powered the factories and mills in the city, which was the first planned industrial center in the United States. Hamilton first saw the falls when he was in the Continental Army with George Washington. The city became a major center for industry. The city was where guns and trains were made. A lot of the manufacturing has left the city, but some businesses like custom furniture builders have stayed. During the times when the city was doing well, it became known for its silk mills, which gave it the nickname “Silk City.”
Dominican, Puerto Rican, Peruvian, Mexican, and Colombian make up some of the top nationalities in Paterson, but there are also about 4,200 people of Arab descent in the city. Most of them live in the southern part of the city, where there is one of the highest concentrations of Arab Americans in the country. Most of them are from Palestinian, Syrian, or Jordanian families.
