Passaic
County was created from portions of Bergen County and Essex County
in 1837. It has many historic places, monuments, and museums.
Passaic County's history and landmarks offer visitors an opportunity
to take a step back in time. Paterson was named after William
Paterson, the Governor of New Jersey. The City of Paterson’s
Great Falls Visitor Center offers historic guided walks featuring
its industrial architecture. Lambert Castle was constructed in
1892 for the silk manufacturer Catholina Lambert. The Castle was
purchased and renovated by the Passaic County Park Commission
in 1928. The man-made Morris Canal ran through northern New Jersey
and connected the Delaware River with the Hudson River transporting
people and goods throughout the state and through the Passaic
County towns of Clifton, Little Falls, Paterson and the Mountain
View section of Wayne.
