Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park

Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park is a unit of the National Park Service and is one of the newest units in the agency and the newest one in New Jersey.  Since 1916, the American people have entrusted the National Park Service with the care of their national parks. With the help of volunteers and park partners, we are proud to safeguard these more than 400 places and to share their stories with more than 275 million visitors every year.

This National Historical Park was created to preserve and interpret for current and future generations, the historical, cultural and natural resources that tell the story of the City of Paterson and its Great Falls  - the country's first planned industrial city.
