New Brunswick es la sede del condado de Middlesex.
Si tuviera que caer, desearía que hubiera sido en las aceras de Nueva York, no en las aceras de New Brunswick, Nueva Jersey.

New Brunswick es una ciudad en el condado de Middlesex, Nueva Jersey , Estados Unidos. La ciudad es la sede del condado de Middlesex, [22] y es el hogar de la Universidad de Rutgers . La ciudad es tanto un centro comercial regional para la región central de Nueva Jersey como una ciudad de cercanías prominente y creciente para los residentes que viajan diariamente a la ciudad de Nueva York dentro del área metropolitana de Nueva York . New Brunswick se encuentra en la línea ferroviaria del Northeast Corridor , a 27 millas (43 km) al suroeste de Manhattan . La ciudad está ubicada en la orilla sur del río Raritan. en la región del Valle de Raritan.

Para 2019, New Brunswick tenía una población estimada por el censo de 55,676, [12] lo que representa un aumento del 0,9% de las 55,181 personas enumeradas en el censo de los Estados Unidos de 2010 , [9] [10] [11] que a su vez reflejó un aumento de 6.608 (+ 13,6%) de los 48.573 contabilizados en el censo de 2000 . [23] La oficina de censo 's Population Estimates Programa calcula que la población de la ciudad era de 55.676 en 2019, [12] el ranking de la ciudad, el 689o más poblado en el país . [14] Debido a la concentración de instalaciones médicasen el área, incluidos el Hospital Universitario Robert Wood Johnson y el Hospital Universitario Saint Peter , así como Rutgers, la Facultad de Medicina Robert Wood Johnson de la Universidad Estatal de Nueva Jersey , New Brunswick es conocida como Hub City y Healthcare City . [24] [25] Las oficinas centrales corporativas y las instalaciones de producción de varias compañías farmacéuticas globales están situadas en la ciudad, incluidas Johnson & Johnson y Bristol Myers Squibb .

New Brunswick se destaca por su diversidad étnica . En un momento, una cuarta parte de la población húngara de Nueva Jersey residía en la ciudad y en la década de 1930 uno de cada tres residentes de la ciudad era húngaro. [26] La comunidad húngara continúa como una comunidad cohesionada, con 3.200 residentes húngaros que representan el 8% de la población de New Brunswick en 1992. [27] Las comunidades asiáticas e hispanas en crecimiento se han desarrollado alrededor de French Street cerca del Hospital Universitario Robert Wood Johnson.

Historia [ editar ]

Etimología [ editar ]

El área alrededor del actual New Brunswick fue habitada por primera vez por los nativos americanos Lenape , cuyo Sendero Minisink cruzaba el río Raritan y seguía una ruta que sería tomada por caminos coloniales posteriores. [28] El primer asentamiento europeo en el sitio de New Brunswick se hizo en 1681. El asentamiento aquí se llamó Prigmore's Swamp (1681-1697), entonces conocido como Inian's Ferry (1691-1714). [29] En 1714, el asentamiento recibió el nombre de New Brunswick, en honor a la ciudad de Braunschweig ( Brunswick en bajo alemán ), en el estado de Baja Sajonia., que ahora se encuentra en Alemania . Braunschweig era una ciudad influyente y poderosa en la Liga Hanseática y fue una sede administrativa del Ducado de Hannover. Poco después del primer asentamiento de New Brunswick en la Nueva Jersey colonial, George, duque de Brunswick-Lüneburg y elector de Hannover, se convirtió en el rey George I de Gran Bretaña . Alternativamente, la ciudad recibe su nombre del rey Jorge II de Gran Bretaña , el duque de Brunswick-Lüneburg . [30] [31]

Durante los períodos colonial y americano temprano [ editar ]

Con una ubicación central entre la ciudad de Nueva York y Filadelfia, a lo largo de una de las primeras vías conocida como King's Highway y situada a lo largo del río Raritan , New Brunswick se convirtió en un importante centro para los viajeros y comerciantes coloniales. New Brunswick se incorporó como ciudad en 1736 y fue constituida como ciudad en 1784. [32] Se incorporó a una ciudad en 1798 como parte de la Ley del municipio de 1798 . Fue ocupada por los británicos en el invierno de 1776-1777 durante la Guerra de Independencia . [33]

La Declaración de Independencia recibió una de sus primeras lecturas públicas, por parte del coronel John Neilson en New Brunswick el 9 de julio de 1776, en los días posteriores a su promulgación por el Congreso Continental . [34] [35] [36] Una estatua de bronce que marca el evento fue dedicada el 9 de julio de 2017, en Monument Square, frente al Hotel Heldrich. [37]

Los fideicomisarios de Queen's College (ahora Universidad de Rutgers ), fundada en 1766, votaron por un margen de diez a siete en 1771 para ubicar la joven universidad en New Brunswick, seleccionando la ciudad sobre Hackensack , en el condado de Bergen, Nueva Jersey . [38] Las clases comenzaron en 1771 con un instructor, un estudiante de segundo año, Mateo Leydt , y varios estudiantes de primer año en una taberna llamada la 'Señal de la Red Lion' en la esquina de las calles Albany y Neilson (ahora los motivos de la Johnson & Johnson corporativa sede); Leydt se convertiría en el primer graduado de la universidad en 1774, cuando era el único miembro de la promoción. [39]El Signo del León Rojo se compró en nombre del Queens College en 1771 y luego se vendió a la propiedad de Jacob Rutsen Hardenbergh en 1791. [40] Las clases se llevaron a cabo durante la Revolución Americana en varias tabernas y pensiones, y en un edificio. conocido como College Hall en George Street, hasta que Old Queens se completó y abrió en 1811. [41] [42] Sigue siendo el edificio más antiguo en el campus de la Universidad de Rutgers. [43] El Queen's College Grammar School (ahora Rutgers Preparatory School ) se estableció también en 1766 y compartió instalaciones con el colegio hasta 1830, cuando se ubicó en un edificio (ahora conocido como Alexander Johnston Hall) al otro lado de College Avenue desde Old Queens. [44] Después de que la Universidad de Rutgers se convirtió en la universidad estatal de Nueva Jersey en 1945, [45] los Fideicomisarios de Rutgers se deshicieron de la Escuela Preparatoria de Rutgers, que se trasladó en 1957 a una propiedad comprada a Colgate-Palmolive Company en Franklin Township en la vecina Somerset. Condado . [46]

El Seminario Teológico de New Brunswick , fundado en 1784 en Nueva York , se trasladó a New Brunswick en 1810, compartiendo sus habitaciones con el incipiente Queen's College. (Queen's cerró de 1810 a 1825 debido a problemas financieros y reabrió en 1825 como Rutgers College.) [47] El Seminario, debido al hacinamiento y las diferencias sobre la misión de Rutgers College como institución secular, se trasladó a una extensión de terreno que cubría 7 acres (2,8 ha) ubicados a menos de 1 ⁄ 2 milla (0,80 km) al oeste, que todavía ocupa, aunque el terreno ahora está en el medio del campus de College Avenue de la Universidad de Rutgers . [48]

New Brunswick se formó por estatuto real el 30 de diciembre de 1730, dentro de otros municipios en los condados de Middlesex y Somerset y fue reformado por estatuto real con los mismos límites el 12 de febrero de 1763, momento en el que se dividió en distritos norte y sur. New Brunswick se incorporó como ciudad por una ley de la Legislatura de Nueva Jersey el 1 de septiembre de 1784. [32]

Comunidad afroamericana [ editar ]

Esclavitud en Nuevo Brunswick [ editar ]

La existencia de una comunidad afroamericana en New Brunswick se remonta al siglo XVIII, cuando la esclavitud racial era parte de la vida en la ciudad y sus alrededores. Los propietarios de esclavos locales compraban y vendían niños, mujeres y hombres afroamericanos en New Brunswick a finales del siglo XVIII y principios del XIX. En este período, Market-House fue el centro de la vida comercial de la ciudad. Estaba ubicado en la esquina de Hiram Street y Queen Street (ahora Neilson Street) adyacente al Raritan Wharf. El sitio era un lugar donde los residentes de New Brunswick vendían e intercambiaban sus productos, lo que lo convirtió en una parte integral de la economía de la ciudad. Market-House también sirvió como un sitio para subastas y ventas regulares de esclavos. [49] : 101

A finales del siglo XVIII, New Brunswick se convirtió en un centro de producción y distribución de periódicos. The Fredonian , un periódico popular, estaba ubicado a menos de una cuadra del mencionado Market-House y ayudó a facilitar las transacciones comerciales. Una parte importante de los periódicos locales eran secciones dedicadas a propietarios privados que anunciaban la venta de sus esclavos. La tendencia de anunciar la venta de esclavos en los periódicos muestra que los residentes de New Brunswick normalmente preferían vender y comprar esclavos de forma privada e individual en lugar de en grandes grupos. [49] : 103La mayoría de los anuncios individuales eran de esclavas, y su edad promedio en el momento de la venta era de 20 años, que se consideraba la mejor edad para tener hijos. Los dueños de esclavos obtendrían el mayor beneficio de las mujeres que encajaban en esta categoría porque estas mujeres tenían el potencial de reproducir otra generación de trabajadores esclavizados. Además, en el entorno urbano de New Brunswick, había una gran demanda de trabajo doméstico y se prefería a las trabajadoras para las tareas de cocina y del hogar. [49] : 107

La legislatura de Nueva Jersey aprobó una ley para la abolición gradual de la esclavitud en 1804. [50] Según las disposiciones de esta ley, los niños nacidos de mujeres esclavizadas después del 4 de julio de 1804 servirían a su amo por un período de 21 años (para niñas ) o un plazo de 25 años (para chicos), y después de este plazo, ganarían su libertad. Sin embargo, todos los individuos que fueron esclavizados antes del 4 de julio de 1804, continuarían siendo esclavos de por vida y nunca alcanzarían la libertad bajo esta ley. New Brunswick continuó siendo el hogar de afroamericanos esclavizados junto con una comunidad creciente de personas de color libres. El censo de Estados Unidos de 1810 enumeró 53 negros libres y 164 esclavos en New Brunswick. [51]

Espacios e instituciones afroamericanos a principios del siglo XIX [ editar ]

En la década de 1810, algunos afroamericanos libres vivían en una sección de la ciudad llamada Halfpenny Town, que estaba ubicada a lo largo del río Raritan en el lado este de la ciudad, cerca de Queen (ahora Neilson) Street. Halfpenny Town era un lugar poblado por negros libres y blancos más pobres que no tenían esclavos. Este lugar era conocido como una reunión social para negros libres que no estaba completamente influenciada por el escrutinio blanco y permitía a los negros libres socializar entre ellos. Esto no significa que estaba libre de ojos blancos y todavía estaba bajo los efectos negativos de la era de la esclavitud. [49] : 99En las primeras décadas del siglo XIX, los blancos y los afroamericanos libres o esclavizados compartían muchos de los mismos espacios en New Brunswick, particularmente lugares de culto. La Primera Iglesia Presbiteriana, la Iglesia de Cristo y la Primera Iglesia Reformada eran populares entre blancos y negros, y New Brunswick se destacaba por su falta de espacios donde los afroamericanos pudieran congregarse exclusivamente. La mayor parte del tiempo, los feligreses negros de estas iglesias estaban bajo la vigilancia de los blancos. [49] : 113 Ese fue el caso hasta la creación de la Asociación Africana de New Brunswick en 1817. [49] : 114-115

Tanto los afroamericanos libres como los esclavizados participaron activamente en el establecimiento de la Asociación Africana de New Brunswick, cuyas reuniones se celebraron por primera vez en 1817. [49] : 112La Asociación Africana de New Brunswick celebró una reunión todos los meses, principalmente en los hogares de negros libres. A veces, estas reuniones se llevaron a cabo en la Primera Iglesia Presbiteriana. Originalmente pensada para brindar apoyo financiero a la Escuela Africana de New Brunswick, la Asociación Africana se convirtió en un espacio donde los negros podían reunirse y compartir ideas sobre una variedad de temas como la religión, la abolición y la colonización. Los esclavos debían obtener un pase de su dueño para poder asistir a estas reuniones. La Asociación Africana trabajó en estrecha colaboración con los blancos y en general fue favorecida entre los residentes blancos que creían que traería más paz y armonía racial a New Brunswick. [49] : 114-115

La Asociación Africana de New Brunswick estableció la Escuela Africana en 1822. La Escuela Africana se alojó por primera vez en la casa de Caesar Rappleyea en 1823. [49] : 114 La escuela estaba ubicada en el extremo superior de Church Street en el centro de Nueva Brunswick, a unas dos cuadras de la cárcel que albergaba a los esclavos fugitivos. Tanto los negros libres como los esclavizados eran bienvenidos como miembros de la Escuela. [49] : 116 El reverendo Huntington (pastor de la Primera Iglesia Presbiteriana ) y varios otros blancos prominentes eran fideicomisarios de la Asociación Africana de New Brunswick. Estos fideicomisarios apoyaron a la Asociación, lo que hizo que algunos propietarios de esclavos se sintieran seguros enviando a sus esclavos allí mediante un proceso de permiso.[49] : 115 La creencia principal de estos partidarios blancos era que los negros todavía no eran aptos para la ciudadanía y residencia estadounidense, y algunos fideicomisarios estaban conectados con la Sociedad de Colonización Estadounidense que abogaba por la migración de afroamericanos libres a África. Los fideicomisarios blancos solo asistieron a algunas de las reuniones de la Asociación Africana, y la Asociación todavía no tenía precedentes como un espacio para que los negros esclavizados y libres se reunieran bajo la mínima supervisión de los blancos. [49] : 116-117

La Asociación Africana parece haberse disuelto después de 1824. Para 1827, los negros libres y esclavizados de la ciudad, incluidos Joseph y Jane Hoagland, se unieron para establecer la Iglesia Episcopal Metodista Africana Mount Zion y compraron un terreno en Division Street para el propósito de erigir un edificio de la iglesia. Esta fue la primera iglesia afroamericana en el condado de Middlesex. La iglesia tenía aproximadamente 30 miembros en sus primeros años. La iglesia todavía está en funcionamiento y actualmente se encuentra en 39 Hildebrand Way. La calle Hildebrand Way lleva el nombre del difunto reverendo Henry Alphonso Hildebrand, quien fue pastor de Mount Zion AME durante 37 años, que es el nombramiento más largo recibido por un pastor en Mount Zion AME. [52]

Los registros del censo de abril de 1828, realizado por el Consejo Común de New Brunswick, indican que New Brunswick estaba poblado con 4.435 residentes blancos y 374 afroamericanos libres. La población esclavizada de New Brunswick en 1828 consistía en 57 esclavos que deben servir de por vida y 127 esclavos elegibles para la manumisión a los 21 o 25 años debido a la Ley de 1804 para la abolición gradual de la esclavitud. Los afroamericanos libres y esclavizados representaban el 11% de la población de New Brunswick en 1828, un porcentaje relativamente alto para New Jersey. [49] : 94 En comparación, a partir del censo de Estados Unidos de 1830 , los afroamericanos constituían aproximadamente el 6,4% de la población total de Nueva Jersey. [53]

Cárcel y toque de queda en el siglo XIX [ editar ]

En 1824, el Consejo Común de New Brunswick adoptó un toque de queda para las personas de color libres. A los afroamericanos libres no se les permitió salir después de las 10 pm del sábado por la noche. El Consejo Común también nombró un comité de residentes blancos que fueron acusados ​​de arrestar y detener a afroamericanos libres que parecían estar fuera de lugar según las autoridades blancas. [49] : 98

New Brunswick se convirtió en una ciudad notoria para los cazadores de esclavos, que buscaban hacer cumplir la Ley de esclavos fugitivos de 1850 . Ubicada estratégicamente en el río Raritan, la ciudad también fue un centro vital para el ferrocarril subterráneo de Nueva Jersey . Para los esclavos fugitivos en Nueva Jersey, sirvió como una ruta favorable para aquellos que se dirigían a Nueva York y Canadá. Cuando los afroamericanos intentaron escapar hacia o desde New Brunswick, tenían una alta probabilidad de ser descubiertos y capturados y enviados a la cárcel de New Brunswick, que estaba ubicada en Prince Street, que ahora se llama Bayard Street. [49] : 96

Comunidad húngara [ editar ]

New Brunswick ha sido descrita como la "ciudad más húngara" del país, con inmigrantes húngaros que llegaron a la ciudad ya en 1888 y representaron casi el 20% de la población de la ciudad en 1915. [54] Los húngaros se sintieron atraídos principalmente a la ciudad por el empleo. en las fábricas de Johnson & Johnson ubicadas en la ciudad. [55] Los húngaros se establecieron principalmente en lo que hoy es el Quinto Distrito y las empresas se establecieron para satisfacer las necesidades de la comunidad húngara que no estaban siendo satisfechas por las empresas principales. [56] La población inmigrante creció hasta el final del boom de la inmigración a principios del siglo XX.

Durante la Guerra Fría , la comunidad fue revitalizada por la decisión de procesar a las decenas de miles de refugiados que llegaron a los Estados Unidos de la fallida Revolución Húngara de 1956 en Camp Kilmer , en las cercanías de Edison . [57] A pesar de que la población húngara ha sido suplantada en gran medida por inmigrantes más nuevos, sigue habiendo un festival húngaro en la ciudad que se celebra en Somerset Street el primer sábado de junio de cada año; el 44º evento anual se celebró en 2019 [58].Muchas instituciones húngaras establecidas por la comunidad permanecen y están activas en el vecindario, incluyendo: Iglesia Reformada Magyar, Iglesia Luterana Ascensión, Iglesia Católica Romana de San Ladislao, Iglesia Católica Bizantina de San José, Club Atlético Húngaro Americano, Preescolar Aprokfalva Montessori, Széchenyi Escuela comunitaria y jardín de infantes húngaros, Teleki Pál Scout Home, Fundación Estadounidense Húngaro, Vers Hangja, Grupo de Poesía Húngara, Serie de Conferencias Bolyai sobre Artes y Ciencias, Asociación de Antiguos Alumnos de Hungría, Programa de Radio Húngara, Asociación Cívica Húngara, Comité de Iglesias y Organizaciones de Nueva Hungría Brunswick y Csűrdöngölő Folk Dance Ensemble.

Varios hitos de la ciudad también dan testimonio de su herencia húngara. Hay una calle y un parque que llevan el nombre de Lajos Kossuth , uno de los líderes de la Revolución Húngara de 1848 . La esquina de Somerset Street y Plum Street se llama Mindszenty Square, donde se erigió la primera estatua del cardenal József Mindszenty . [27] Cerca se encuentra un monumento de piedra a las víctimas de la Revolución Húngara de 1956. [59]

Comunidad latina [ editar ]

En el censo de 2010, aproximadamente el 50% de la población de New Brunswick se autoidentifica como hispana, el decimocuarto porcentaje más alto entre los municipios de New Jersey. [9] [60] Desde la década de 1960, muchos de los nuevos residentes de New Brunswick han venido de América Latina. Muchos ciudadanos se mudaron de Puerto Rico en la década de 1970. En la década de 1980, muchos emigraron de la República Dominicana y aún más tarde de Guatemala, Honduras, Ecuador y México.

Demolición, revitalización y remodelación [ editar ]

El Proyecto Gateway en construcción
College Avenue viejo y nuevo

New Brunswick es una de las nueve ciudades de Nueva Jersey designadas como elegibles para créditos fiscales para centros de tránsito urbano por la Autoridad de Desarrollo Económico del estado . Los desarrolladores que inviertan un mínimo de $ 50 millones dentro de una media milla de una estación de tren son elegibles para un crédito fiscal prorrateado . [61] [62]

New Brunswick contiene varios ejemplos de renovación urbana en los Estados Unidos. En las décadas de 1960 y 1970, el centro de la ciudad se arruinó cuando los residentes de clase media se mudaron a los suburbios más nuevos que rodeaban la ciudad, un ejemplo del fenómeno conocido como " vuelo blanco ". A partir de 1975, la Universidad de Rutgers , Johnson & Johnson y el gobierno de la ciudad colaboraron a través de la Autoridad de Desarrollo Económico de Nueva Jersey para formar la Compañía de Desarrollo de New Brunswick (DevCo), con el objetivo de revitalizar el centro de la ciudad y reconstruir los vecindarios considerados arruinados y peligrosos. (mediante demolición de edificios existentes y construcción de nuevos). [63] [64]Johnson & Johnson anunció en 1978 que permanecerían en New Brunswick e invertirían $ 50 millones para construir un nuevo edificio de la sede mundial en el área entre Albany Street, el corredor noreste de Amtrak, la ruta 18 y George Street, lo que requiere muchos edificios antiguos y carreteras históricas para Ser eliminado. [65] El área de Hiram Market, un distrito histórico que en la década de 1970 se había convertido en un vecindario mayoritariamente puertorriqueño y dominicano-estadounidense , fue demolido para construir un hotel Hyatt y un centro de conferencias y viviendas de lujo. [66] Johnson & Johnson garantizó la inversión realizada por Hyatt Hotels, ya que desconfiaban de construir un hotel de lujo en una zona deteriorada. [ cita requerida ]

Devco, los hospitales y el gobierno de la ciudad han provocado la ira tanto de los conservacionistas históricos , de los que se oponen a la gentrificación [67] como de los preocupados por los abusos del dominio eminente y la reducción de impuestos para los desarrolladores. [68]

New Brunswick es el hogar del campus principal de la Universidad de Rutgers y Johnson and Johnson , que construyó una nueva sede en 1983. [69] [70] [71] Ambos trabajan con Devco en una asociación público-privada para reconstruir el centro de la ciudad, particularmente en lo que respecta al tránsito. -orientado al desarrollo . [72] [73] [74] [75] [76] [77] [78] Boraie Development, una empresa de desarrollo de bienes raíces con sede en New Brunswick, ha desarrollado proyectos utilizando los incentivos proporcionados por Devco y el estado. [ cita requerida ]

Edificios más altos [ editar ]

Christ Church , construida originalmente en 1742, era el edificio más alto en el momento de la construcción. [79] Se añadió un campanario en 1773 y se reemplazó en 1803. [80]

La Primera Iglesia Reformada de seis pisos , construida en 1812, fue durante mucho tiempo la estructura más alta de la ciudad. [81] Uno de los primeros edificios comerciales altos de la ciudad fue el National Bank of New Jersey de ocho pisos de 34,29 m (112,5 pies) construido en 1908. [82] [83] Los cuatro de nueve pisos de 38 m (125 pies) Los edificios del proyecto de viviendas New Brunswick Homes, originalmente construido en 1958, fueron demolidos por implosión en 2000 y reemplazados en gran parte por viviendas de poca altura. [84] [85] [86]

Si bien no hay edificios de más de 100 metros (330 pies) en la ciudad, desde el milenio varios edificios residenciales de gran altura [87] agrupados alrededor de la estación de New Brunswick se han unido a los construidos en la década de 1960 en el horizonte de la ciudad. [88] [89] [90] [91] [92]

En 2008, hubo una propuesta para construir una torre del Centro Cultural New Brunswick de 34 pisos y 142 metros (466 pies), que habría sido el edificio más alto de la ciudad. [93] [94] En 2017 se anunció que se construiría un nuevo edificio que incluiría un centro de artes escénicas en el sitio de George Street Playhouse y Crossroads Theatre e incluiría 25 pisos de espacio residencial y de oficinas. [95] [96] [97] Un nuevo complejo, The Hub, contendrá los edificios más altos de la ciudad una vez finalizado. [76] [98]

New Brunswick is served by NJ Transit and Amtrak trains on the Northeast Corridor Line.[292] NJ Transit provides frequent service north to Pennsylvania Station, in Midtown Manhattan, and south to Trenton, while Amtrak's Keystone Service and Northeast Regional trains service the New Brunswick station.[293] The Jersey Avenue station is also served by Northeast Corridor trains.[294] For other Amtrak connections, riders can take NJ Transit to Penn Station (New York or Newark), Trenton, or Metropark.

Local bus service is provided by NJ Transit's 810, 811, 814, 815, 818 routes and 980 route.[295][296]

Also available is the extensive Rutgers Campus bus network.[297] Middlesex County Area Transit (MCAT) shuttles provide service on routes operating across the county,[298] including the M1 route, which operates between Jamesburg and the New Brunswick train station.[299] DASH/CAT buses, operated by Somerset County on the 851 and 852 routes connect New Brunswick and Bound Brook.[300][301]
