The recorded history of
Essex
County
begins in 1666, when 30
Connecticut
families headed by Robert Treat arrived to establish a
settlement along the banks of the
Passaic
River
in what is now the City of
Newark
. The following year the settlers purchased the land
from the Lenni Lenape Indians for 0.00.
Essex
County
was officially established in 1682 by the East Jersey Legislature as one of the four original counties of present day
New
Jersey
(
Bergen
, Monmouth and Middlesex were the others.) By the time of the American Revolution,
Essex
County
had become quite
prosperous. After the war, the Country entered into a period of unprecedented industrial growth. This was due in part to the completion
of the New Jersey Railroad, the
Morris
Canal
, and the establishment of the Morris and Essex Railroad. Factories that grew up around
the rail and canal arteries drew waves of immigrants from
Europe
and the population began to swell.
In 1895,
Essex
County
became the first County in the
United States
to create a Countywide park system. That year, the Governor of
New Jersey signed legislation creating the Essex County Parks Commission and the first 60 acres of land were acquired from the City of
Newark
as the beginning of Branch Brook Park. The Parks Commissioners had the foresight to retain Frederick Law Olmsted, the creator
of
New York
's Central Park, to design 20 of
Essex
County
's 25 parks and reservations. Those first 60 acres have grown into 5,745 acres
of greenspace which include vast reservations, developed parks, golf courses, tennis courts, ice and roller skating complexes and a zoo.
