Contrary to popular assumption, the town of Elizabeth, New Jersey was not named after Queen Elizabeth I, but rather after the wife of Sir George Carteret, a cousin of Gov. Philip Carteret.
Estimated population, in 2003, was 123,215. Seat of Union County, Elizabeth is situated on the southern city limits of Newark, along the Garden State Parkway (I-95) near Newark Bay and Upper New York Bay.
Singer's Sewing Machine Company first started their world renowned operations in Elizabeth, employing as many as 2,000 people.
Elizabeth was the first capital of New Jersey. A part of the Elizabethtown Tract, it was the first community established in the new colony. Soon in the 17th-century, Elizabeth became known as a tannery center. The city, during the American Revolutionary War, was constantly laid under siege by British forces based in Manhattan and Staten Island. Elizabeth was promoted to city status by virtue of legislature in 1855.
