Excerpt from A Gazetteer of the State of New Jersey: Comprehending a General View of Its Physical and Moral Condition, Together With a Topographical and Statistical Account of Its Counties, Towns, Villages, Canals, Rail Roads, &C Upon the clay and loam soils, oak grows abundantly; frequently of great size, and of quality much valued in the construction of ships. It is the common timber of the western border, and covers almost exclusively the central portion of the county of Cape May. In the sandy region, are extensive swamps which bear the beautiful and valuable white cedar, much sought for fencing, and which sells readily at from one to three hundred dollars the acre.

Excerpt from A Gazetteer of the State of New Jersey: Comprehending a General View of Its Physical and Moral Condition, Together With a Topographical and Statistical Account of Its Counties, Towns, Villages, Canals, Rail Roads, Map Accompanied The soil of this alluvial district consists of sand and clay, sometimes one overlay ing the other; but frequently intimately blended, forming a tolerably fertile loam, which prevails on its northern and western border with a variable breadth. Above Salem, this breadthis from five to twelve miles, but below that town it is sometimes contracted to a mile, East of this strip of loam, and west of the marsh which girds the sea shore, lies an immense sandy plain, scarce broken by any inequality, and originally covered by a pine. And shrub-oak forest - a great portion of which has been once, and some of it twice, cut over. There are many square miles on which there is not a human inhabitant, and where the deer, foxes and rabbits are abundant. And the wolf and the bear find a lair to protect their race from extirpation. But in many places the echo is awakened by the woodman's axe, and the louder din of the forge hammer, and the forest glares with the light of the furnace or glass house. In this sandy desert there are found veins of onerous soil, which yield a compensatory crop of corn and rye to the labours of the husbandman.

Excerpt from F. Killenberger's Pocket Gazetteer of the State of New Jersey One of the Middle Atlantic States and one of the original thirteen, is bounded N. by New York, E. by the Hudson River and the Atlantic Ocean, S. by the Atlantic Ocean and Delaware Bay, and W. by the Delaware Bay and River, which separate it from Delaware and Pennsylvania. It covers an area of 7815 square miles, its greatest length being 167 1/2 miles from lat. 38 56' to 41 21' N., with an extreme breadth of 59 miles in W. Ion. 73 5 ' and 75 33'. At the narrowest point, between Bordentown and South Amboy, the State is about 35 miles in width. It has a direct coast line of 120 miles, and besides its bordering rivers, the Hudson and Delaware, its principal streams are the Passaic, Hackensack, and Raritan. Topographically New Jersey is characterized by three well marked divisions. The northern portion of the State is hilly and mountainous, being traversed in a direction S. E. and N. W. by the Blue or Kittatinny and the Highland ranges of mountains, the former of which rise to an altitude of 1800 feet near the New York line, and thence form an unbroken ridge to "the Delaware Water Gap," while the latter reach their highest point at Rutherford's Hill or Hamburg Mountain, which is 1488 feet above the sea. Between these ranges lies the beautiful and fertile Kittatinny Valley, about 39 miles in length by 10 in breadth, and at an elevation of from 500 to 650 feet. Some twenty miles east of the Highland Range the Palisades, a wall of perpendicular trap-rocks, from 200 to 500 feet high, stretch along the western bank of the Hudson for 15 miles, forming one of the grandest features of its scenery. The central portion of the State is a rolling country, and the remaining three-fifths extending south and eastward, are nearly level, the Navesink Hills opposite Sandy Hook, 375 feet above the sea, being the principal elevations. Much of the southern part is sandy and covered by pine forests. The five geological belts crossing the State from N. E. to S. W. abound in mineral wealth. The Silurian and Devonian formations of the N. W. furnish large quantities of excellent roofing-slate, building and flagstones, magnesian limestone and rich hematites.

Like many of New Jersey's older towns, Linden owes its existence to the enterprising and visionary Puritan colonists from Long Island who sought religious freedom and better farmland among the virgin wilderness of northeastern New Jersey. Close upon the heels of these pioneering and hard-working farmers, legions of merchants and artisans flocked to the small villages they established, thus ensuring industry, culture, and expansion for centuries to come. Linden's unique offering of picturesque setting, between Staten Island Sound and the Rahway River, and its proximity to major urban centers, such as Newark, Elizabeth, and New York City, has contributed greatly to the community's overall growth and continues to attract new people chasing the same dreams and destinies that the first settlers sought. With over 100 illustrations, Linden, New Jersey chronicles the exciting story of a community that has survived wars and depressions and flourished both economically and culturally in times of prosperity. Journeying across an evolving landscape, readers will experience firsthand the early settlers' struggles against both land and man, the fear and violence from the British and Hessian raids during the Revolutionary War, and an assortment of events that shook Linden, from local political discord to dutiful service during times of national crisis. This comprehensive volume recalls much more than traditional textbook history, but celebrates the township's diverse population, such as the historic Jewish community, and immigrant cultures that have called Linden home over the years.
