dc.descriptionLocated just south of Journal Square Bergen Square was established in 1660 as the village of Bergen on land long-utilized by Lenni Lenape Native American people. It was the first urban square established in the colonies and is the oldest continuously-inhabited European settlement in New Jersey. Bergen Square, at the intersection of Academy Street and Bergen Avenue, was established in November of 1660 by Dutch settlers led by Director-General Peter Stuyvesant. Today, it sits within the boundaries of Journal Square, lost in the chaos of the neighborhood and not very well known.
