Source disappeared
[edit]The source to Military History Online no longer works. The link is broken. Here is a link to the web archive which displays the article: https://web.archive.org/web/20171207224409/http://www.militaryhistoryonline.com/indianwars/articles/kieftswar.aspx#
I would like to replace it, but I cannot seem to find the link in the edit page. Perhaps someone more knowledgable can change it? There are some other pages which also link to it, perhaps it's a good idea to change those too. Qopzeep (talk)

[edit]This image, imported from Hackensack article sites a date for 1660. Would it not seem that this representation would be of Bergen? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Djflem (talk • contribs) 14:07, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
Coordinate error
[edit]{{geodata-check}}
The original buildings at Pavonia were located SW of current coords, at 4th and Manila.

Do you have any proof for this, or documentation? It would make sense to change the coordinates only if there was a detailed reason why a specific city block should be named rather than the area. Adiamas (talk) 18:51, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
The current coords were in the river in the 17th century before landfilling. The first house was at 4th Street as per http://www.njcu.edu/programs/jchistory/Pages/V_Pages/Van_Vorst_House_Near_Fourth_Street.htm

Looking at the Bergen Hill article, the location is 40.717363 -74.070515, in New Jersey, while the current coordinates are a location in Manhattan, across the river. Other editors should take a look and see if this is better.--DThomsen8 (talk) 21:47, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
Staten Island
[edit]The Pauw connection to Staten Island is interesting as it draws attention to the "border war" between NJ and NY that occupied the first half of the 19th century. Pauw's patroonship was essentially a failed enterprise, so the question of whether Staten Island "was part of" Pavonia is ultimately moot and unclarifiable - however, we should bear in mind that there was no NY or NJ in that era, so there is less reason to think that the neighboring sections Pauw bought would not be considered a single unit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jwbkmn (talk • contribs) 16:06, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
