Nuevo Brunswick es conocido por su diversidad étnica . En un momento dado, 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. [30] La comunidad húngara sigue siendo una comunidad cohesionada, con 3.200 residentes húngaros que representan el 8% de la población de Nuevo Brunswick en 1992. [31] Se han desarrollado comunidades asiáticas e hispanas en crecimiento alrededor de French Street, cerca del Hospital Universitario Robert Wood Johnson.
Historia
Etimología
El área alrededor del actual Nuevo Brunswick fue habitada por primera vez por los nativos americanos Lenape , cuyo sendero Minisink cruzaba el río Raritan y seguía una ruta que luego tomarían los caminos coloniales. [32] El primer asentamiento europeo en el sitio de Nuevo Brunswick se realizó en 1681. El asentamiento aquí se llamó Pantano de Prigmore (1681-1697), luego conocido como Ferry de Inian (1691-1714). [33] En 1714, el asentamiento recibió el nombre de Nuevo Brunswick, en honor a la ciudad de Braunschweig ( Brunswick en bajo alemán ), en el estado de Baja Sajonia , ahora ubicado en Alemania . Braunschweig era una ciudad influyente y poderosa en la Liga Hanseática y era una sede administrativa del Ducado de Hannover. Poco después del primer asentamiento de Nuevo Brunswick en la Nueva Jersey colonial, Jorge, duque de Brunswick-Lüneburg y elector de Hanover, se convirtió en el rey Jorge I de Gran Bretaña . Alternativamente, la ciudad recibe su nombre del rey Jorge II de Gran Bretaña , duque de Brunswick-Lüneburg . [34] [35]
Períodos coloniales y de los primeros tiempos de América
Ubicada en el centro entre la ciudad de Nueva York y Filadelfia , a lo largo de una antigua vía conocida como King's Highway y situada a lo largo del río Raritan , Nuevo Brunswick se convirtió en un importante centro para los viajeros y comerciantes coloniales. Nuevo Brunswick se incorporó como ciudad en 1736 y recibió la carta de ciudad en 1784. [36] Se incorporó a una ciudad en 1798 como parte de la Ley de Municipios de 1798. Fue ocupada por los británicos en el invierno de 1776-1777 durante la Guerra de la Independencia . [37]
La Declaración de Independencia recibió una de sus primeras lecturas públicas, por el coronel John Neilson en Nuevo Brunswick el 9 de julio de 1776, en los días posteriores a su promulgación por el Congreso Continental . [38] [39] [40] Una estatua de bronce que marca el evento fue dedicada el 9 de julio de 2017, en Monument Square, frente al Hotel Heldrich. [41]
Los fideicomisarios del Queen's College (ahora Universidad Rutgers ), fundada en 1766, votaron por un margen de diez a siete en 1771 para ubicar la joven universidad en Nuevo Brunswick, seleccionando la ciudad sobre Hackensack , en el condado de Bergen, Nueva Jersey . [42] Las clases comenzaron en 1771 con un instructor, un estudiante de segundo año, Matthew Leydt , y varios estudiantes de primer año en una taberna llamada 'Sign of the Red Lion' en la esquina de las calles Albany y Neilson (ahora los terrenos de la sede corporativa de Johnson & Johnson ); Leydt se convertiría en el primer graduado de la universidad en 1774 cuando fue el único miembro de la clase que se graduó. [43] El Letrero del León Rojo fue comprado en nombre de Queens College en 1771, y luego vendido a la herencia de Jacob Rutsen Hardenbergh en 1791. [44] 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. [45] [46] Sigue siendo el edificio más antiguo del campus de la Universidad de Rutgers. [47] La Queen's College Grammar School (ahora Rutgers Preparatory School ) también se estableció en 1766, y compartió instalaciones con la universidad hasta 1830, cuando se ubicó en un edificio (ahora conocido como Alexander Johnston Hall ) al otro lado de College Avenue de Old Queens. [48] Después de que la Universidad Rutgers se convirtiera en la universidad estatal de Nueva Jersey en 1945, [49] los fideicomisarios de Rutgers se deshicieron de la Escuela Preparatoria Rutgers, que se trasladó en 1957 a una finca comprada a Colgate-Palmolive en Franklin Township en el vecino condado de Somerset . [50]
El Seminario Teológico de Nuevo Brunswick , fundado en 1784 en Nueva York , se trasladó a Nuevo Brunswick en 1810, compartiendo sus dependencias con el incipiente Queen's College. (Queen's cerró de 1810 a 1825 debido a problemas financieros, y reabrió en 1825 como Rutgers College.) [51] El Seminario, debido al hacinamiento y las diferencias sobre la misión de Rutgers College como institución secular, se trasladó a una extensión de tierra que cubría 7 acres (2,8 ha) ubicada a menos de 1 ⁄ 2 milla (0,80 km) al oeste, que todavía ocupa, aunque la tierra está ahora en medio del campus de College Avenue de la Universidad de Rutgers . [52]
Nuevo Brunswick se formó mediante una carta real el 30 de diciembre de 1730, dentro de otros municipios de los condados de Middlesex y Somerset , y se reformó mediante una carta real con los mismos límites el 12 de febrero de 1763, momento en el que se dividió en distritos norte y sur. Nuevo Brunswick se incorporó como ciudad mediante una ley de la Legislatura de Nueva Jersey el 1 de septiembre de 1784. [36]
Old Queens , el edificio más antiguo de la Universidad Rutgers
La existencia de una comunidad afroamericana en Nuevo 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 rutinariamente niños, mujeres y hombres afroamericanos en Nuevo Brunswick a fines del siglo XVIII y principios del XIX. En este período, la Market-House era el centro de la vida comercial de la ciudad. Estaba ubicada 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 Nuevo Brunswick vendían e intercambiaban sus bienes, lo que lo convertía en una parte integral de la economía de la ciudad. La Market-House también sirvió como un sitio para subastas y ventas regulares de esclavos. [53] : 101
A finales del siglo XVIII, Nuevo Brunswick se convirtió en un centro de producción y distribución de periódicos. El Fredonian , un periódico popular, estaba ubicado a menos de una cuadra de la mencionada 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 ventas de esclavos en los periódicos muestra que los residentes de Nuevo Brunswick generalmente preferían vender y comprar esclavos de forma privada e individual en lugar de en grandes grupos. [53] : 103 La mayoría de los anuncios individuales eran para esclavas, y su edad promedio en el momento de la venta era de 20 años, que se consideraba la edad ideal para la maternidad. Los dueños de esclavos obtenían la mayor ganancia 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 Nuevo Brunswick, había una gran demanda de mano de obra doméstica, y las trabajadoras eran preferidas para las tareas de cocina y del hogar. [53] : 107
La Legislatura de Nueva Jersey aprobó la Ley para la Abolición Gradual de la Esclavitud en 1804. [54] Según las disposiciones de esta ley, los niños nacidos de mujeres esclavizadas después del 4 de julio de 1804 servirían a su amo durante un período de 21 años (para las niñas) o un período de 25 años (para los niños), y después de este período, obtendrían 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. Nuevo Brunswick continuó siendo el hogar de afroamericanos esclavizados junto con una creciente comunidad de personas de color libres. El censo de los Estados Unidos de 1810 enumeraba 53 negros libres y 164 esclavos en Nuevo Brunswick. [55]
Espacios e instituciones afroamericanas a principios del siglo XIX
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, así como por blancos más pobres que no poseían 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 estuviera libre de los ojos blancos y que todavía estuviera bajo los efectos negativos de la era de la esclavitud. [53] : 99 En las primeras décadas del siglo XIX, los afroamericanos blancos y libres o esclavizados compartían muchos de los mismos espacios en Nuevo Brunswick, particularmente lugares de culto. La Primera Iglesia Presbiteriana, la Iglesia de Cristo y la Primera Iglesia Reformada eran populares entre los blancos y los negros, y Nuevo 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. [53] : 113 Ese fue el caso hasta la creación de la Asociación Africana de Nuevo Brunswick en 1817. [53] : 114–115
Tanto los afroamericanos libres como los esclavos participaron activamente en la creación de la Asociación Africana de Nuevo Brunswick, cuyas reuniones se celebraron por primera vez en 1817. [53] : 112 La Asociación Africana de Nuevo Brunswick celebraba una reunión cada mes, principalmente en las casas de los negros libres. A veces, estas reuniones se celebraban en la Primera Iglesia Presbiteriana. Originalmente destinada a proporcionar apoyo financiero a la Escuela Africana de Nuevo 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 trabajaba en estrecha colaboración con los blancos y, en general, era la favorita entre los residentes blancos que creían que traería más paz y armonía racial a Nuevo Brunswick. [53] : 114–115
La Asociación Africana de Nuevo Brunswick estableció la Escuela Africana en 1822. La Escuela Africana se organizó por primera vez en la casa de Caesar Rappleyea en 1823. [53] : 114 La escuela estaba ubicada en el extremo superior de Church Street en el centro de la ciudad de Nuevo Brunswick, a unas dos cuadras de la cárcel que albergaba a los esclavos fugitivos. Tanto los negros libres como los esclavos eran bienvenidos a ser miembros de la Escuela. [53] : 116 El reverendo Huntington (pastor de la Primera Iglesia Presbiteriana ) y varios otros blancos prominentes eran fideicomisarios de la Asociación Africana de Nuevo Brunswick. Estos fideicomisarios apoyaron a la Asociación, lo que hizo que algunos dueños de esclavos se sintieran seguros al enviar a sus esclavos allí mediante un proceso de permiso. [53] : 115 La creencia principal de estos partidarios blancos era que los negros todavía no eran aptos para la ciudadanía y la residencia estadounidenses, y algunos fideicomisarios estaban conectados con la Sociedad Estadounidense de Colonización que abogaba por la migración de afroamericanos libres a África. Los fideicomisarios blancos sólo asistieron a algunas de las reuniones de la Asociación Africana, y la Asociación todavía no tenía precedentes como espacio para que tanto los negros esclavizados como los libres se reunieran bajo una supervisión mínima por parte de los blancos. [53] : 116–117
La Asociación Africana parece haberse disuelto después de 1824. En 1827, los negros libres y esclavos de la ciudad, incluidos Joseph y Jane Hoagland, se unieron para establecer la Iglesia Episcopal Metodista Africana de Mount Zion y compraron un terreno en Division Street con el propósito de erigir un edificio para 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 está ubicada 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. [56]
Los registros del censo de abril de 1828, realizado por el Consejo Común de Nuevo Brunswick, indican que Nuevo Brunswick estaba poblado por 4.435 residentes blancos y 374 afroamericanos libres. La población esclavizada de Nuevo Brunswick en 1828 consistía en 57 esclavos que debían servir de por vida y 127 esclavos elegibles para la emancipación 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 Nuevo Brunswick en 1828, un porcentaje relativamente alto para Nueva Jersey. [53] : 94 En comparación, a partir del censo de los Estados Unidos de 1830 , los afroamericanos representaban aproximadamente el 6,4% de la población total de Nueva Jersey. [57]
Cárcel y toque de queda en el siglo XIX
En 1824, el Consejo Común de Nuevo Brunswick adoptó un toque de queda para las personas de color libres. A los afroamericanos libres no se les permitía salir después de las 10 p. m. los sábados por la noche. El Consejo Común también nombró un comité de residentes blancos que se encargaron de reunir y detener a los afroamericanos libres que parecieran estar fuera de lugar según las autoridades blancas. [53] : 98
Nuevo Brunswick se convirtió en una ciudad famosa por 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 de Nueva Jersey, sirvió como una ruta favorable para aquellos que se dirigían a Nueva York y Canadá. Cuando los afroamericanos intentaban escapar hacia o desde Nuevo Brunswick, tenían una alta probabilidad de ser descubiertos y capturados y enviados a la cárcel de Nuevo Brunswick, que estaba ubicada en Prince Street, que ahora se llama Bayard Street. [53] : 96
Comunidad húngara
El Comité de Iglesias y Organizaciones Húngaras de Nuevo Brunswick conmemora el aniversario de la Revolución Húngara de 1956
Se ha descrito a Nuevo Brunswick como la "ciudad más húngara del país", con inmigrantes húngaros que llegaron a la ciudad ya en 1888 y que representaban casi el 20% de la población de la ciudad en 1915. [58] Los húngaros se sintieron atraídos principalmente a la ciudad por el empleo en las fábricas de Johnson & Johnson ubicadas en la ciudad. [59] Los húngaros se establecieron principalmente en lo que hoy es el Quinto Distrito y se establecieron empresas para atender las necesidades de la comunidad húngara que no estaban siendo satisfechas por las empresas tradicionales. [60] La población inmigrante creció hasta el final del auge de la inmigración a principios del siglo XX.
Durante la Guerra Fría , la comunidad se revitalizó con 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 la cercana Edison . [61] Aunque 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. [62] Muchas instituciones húngaras creadas por la comunidad permanecen y están activas en el vecindario, entre ellas: la Iglesia Reformada Magyar, la Iglesia Luterana de la Ascensión, la Iglesia Católica Romana de San Ladislao, la Iglesia Católica Bizantina de San José, el Club Atlético Húngaro Americano, el preescolar Montessori Aprokfalva, la escuela y jardín de infancia comunitarios húngaros Széchenyi, el hogar de exploradores Teleki Pál, la Fundación Húngaro Americana, Vers Hangja, el Grupo de poesía húngara, la serie de conferencias Bolyai sobre artes y ciencias, la Asociación de exalumnos húngaros, el Programa de radio húngaro, la Asociación cívica húngara, el Comité de iglesias y organizaciones húngaras de Nuevo Brunswick y el Conjunto de danza folclórica Csűrdöngölő.
Varios puntos de referencia 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 . [31] Cerca de allí se encuentra un monumento de piedra a las víctimas de la Revolución húngara de 1956. [63]
Comunidad latina
En el censo de 2010, aproximadamente el 50% de la población de Nuevo Brunswick se identifica como hispana, el 14.º porcentaje más alto entre los municipios de Nueva Jersey. [25] [64] Desde la década de 1960, muchos de los nuevos residentes de Nuevo Brunswick provienen de América Latina. Muchos ciudadanos se mudaron de Puerto Rico en la década de 1970. En la década de 1980, muchos inmigraron de la República Dominicana y, más tarde, de Guatemala, Honduras, Ecuador y México.
Nuevo Brunswick contiene varios ejemplos de renovación urbana en los Estados Unidos. En la década de 1960 y 1970, el centro de la ciudad se deterioró a medida que los residentes de clase media se mudaron a nuevos suburbios que rodeaban la ciudad, un ejemplo del fenómeno conocido como " fuga de blancos ". A partir de 1975, la Universidad Rutgers , Johnson & Johnson y el gobierno de la ciudad colaboraron a través de la Autoridad de Desarrollo Económico de Nueva Jersey para formar la New Brunswick Development Company (DevCo), con el objetivo de revitalizar el centro de la ciudad y reurbanizar los vecindarios considerados deteriorados y peligrosos (a través de la demolición de edificios existentes y la construcción de otros nuevos). [67] [68] Johnson & Johnson anunció en 1978 que permanecerían en Nuevo 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 requirió que se eliminaran muchos edificios antiguos y carreteras históricas. [69] El área del Mercado Hiram, un distrito histórico que en la década de 1970 se había convertido en un barrio mayoritariamente puertorriqueño y dominicano-estadounidense , fue demolido para construir un hotel Hyatt y un centro de conferencias, y viviendas de lujo. [70] Johnson & Johnson garantizó la inversión realizada por Hyatt Hotels, ya que desconfiaban de construir un hotel de lujo en una zona degradada. [ cita requerida ]
Nuevo Brunswick alberga el campus principal de la Universidad Rutgers y Johnson & Johnson , que en 1983 construyó su nueva sede en la ciudad. [73] [74] [75] Ambos trabajan con Devco en una asociación público-privada para reurbanizar el centro de la ciudad, particularmente en lo que respecta al desarrollo orientado al tránsito . [76] [77] [78] [ 79] [80] [81] [82] Boraie Development, una empresa de desarrollo inmobiliario con sede en Nuevo Brunswick, ha desarrollado proyectos utilizando los incentivos proporcionados por Devco y el estado.

Edificios más altos
La Iglesia de Cristo , construida originalmente en 1742, fue el edificio más alto en el momento de su construcción. [83] Se añadió un campanario en 1773 y se reemplazó en 1803. [84] La Primera Iglesia Reformada de seis pisos , construida en 1812, fue durante mucho tiempo la estructura más alta de la ciudad. [85] Uno de los primeros edificios comerciales altos de la ciudad fue el Banco Nacional de Nueva Jersey de ocho pisos y 112,5 pies (34,29 m) construido en 1908. [86] [87] Los cuatro edificios de nueve pisos y 125 pies (38 m) del proyecto de viviendas New Brunswick Homes, construido originalmente en 1958, fueron demolidos por implosión en 2000 y reemplazados en gran parte por viviendas de poca altura. [88] [89] [90]
Si bien no hay edificios de más de 300 pies (91 metros), desde el comienzo del nuevo milenio, se han agregado varios edificios residenciales de gran altura al horizonte de la ciudad . [91] 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. [92] [93] [ 94] [95] [96] De los 16 edificios de más de 150 pies (46 m), nueve de ellos se construyeron en el siglo XXI; varios otros están aprobados o propuestos.

Periodismo
New Brunswick Today es una publicación impresa y digital lanzada en 2011 por el exalumno de periodismo de Rutgers Charlie Kratovil [185] que utiliza el lema "Noticias independientes para la comunidad de New Brunswick". La publicación ha cubierto temas relacionados con el servicio de agua de la ciudad, entre otros, y apareció en Full Frontal con Samantha Bee . [186]
Los semanarios alternativos de Nueva Jersey The Aquarian Weekly [187] y NJ Indy cubren música y artes en Nuevo Brunswick. [188]
Una banda fuera del escenario en Court Tavern en 2004. El club de música en vivo abrió sus puertas en 1981 y su ubicación, a partir de 2023, se encuentra cerrada.
La escena musical en vivo de Nuevo Brunswick ha sido el hogar de muchas bandas de rock originales, incluidas algunas que alcanzaron prominencia nacional como The Smithereens y Bon Jovi . [193] La banda de rock Looking Glass , que tuvo el éxito número uno " Brandy (You're a Fine Girl) " en 1972, se desarrolló en la escena de rock de Nuevo Brunswick y dedicó su debut a "la gente de Nuevo Brunswick". [194]
La ciudad es en particular un centro de punk rock local y música underground. [195] [196] El rock alternativo , el indie rock y la música hardcore han sido populares durante mucho tiempo en la escena musical en vivo de la ciudad. [197] Muchas bandas de rock alternativo consiguieron difusión en la radio gracias a Matt Pinfield, quien fue parte de la escena musical de Nuevo Brunswick durante más de 20 años en la radio WRSU-FM de la Universidad Rutgers y en la estación de radio de rock alternativo WHTG-FM . [198] [199] [200] [195] [201] [ 202] [ 203] [204] [205] [206] [207] [208] [209]

La ciudad fue clasificada como el cuarto lugar para ver bandas independientes en Nueva Jersey. [214]
El sello discográfico independiente Don Giovanni Records originalmente comenzó a documentar la escena del sótano de Nuevo Brunswick. [215] [216] En marzo de 2017, NJ.com escribió que "incluso si Asbury Park ha regresado recientemente como el centro neurálgico musical de nuestro estado, con los lugares físicos y la infraestructura para demostrarlo, Nuevo Brunswick sigue siendo el corazón puro y palpitante de la escena de Nueva Jersey".
