This property granted for church purposes
by the Lord Proprietors of East Jersey
294 years ago, in the year 1682.

Provision was made in the grant for a
triangle or "gore" for the church.

The first church building, "Old First"
Dutch Reformed Church, was erected in 1683.

August of 1902 became the property of
Sts. Peter and Paul Independent Polish
Catholic Church.

George Washington and Continental Army
encamped here the evening of November 21, 1776.

For nearly three centuries this land
represents an unbroken dedication to the
worship of God through Jesus Christ.

Sts. Peter and Paul Polish National Catholic
Church and its members are the present
custodians of this rich heritage.
