Waterloo VillageThis site is rich in history, dating back to the time of the Munsee (Lenape) Indians who inhabited northern New Jersey and made use of the rich natural resources and the abundance of the landscape and waterways.   Later, with the discovery of rich veins of iron nearby, the Andover Forge was established here, making bar iron for shipment to England before the American Revolution.



The valleys of Northwest New Jersey, created by the earth's glacial retreat, left a fertile area with wildlife that eventually was settled at first by the paleo Indians around 8000BC, and the Lenape, or Delaware tribess. The Lenape tribe was one of the most advanced and civilized in the eastern US. The culture flourished until the arrival of the first European fur traders in the mid 1600s and the inevitable procession west, spurred by copper mining near the Delaware River and trade along the old mine road from Philadelphia to Kingston, NY.
