Curries Woods
Curries Woods is a neighborhood in the southern part of Greenville in Jersey City, New Jersey bordering Bayonne. It was named after James Curie, who was on the town Committee for Greenville when it was its own Township in the 19th century. The area remained rural until the later part of the century when the Central Railroad of New Jersey built a line connecting ferries to Elizabeth, New Jersey and New York City. Currie's Woods still remained untouched through the late part of the century and it was valued for its woods, rocky shore and dunes on Newark Bay. A lot of the land was eventually lost, but a tract was set aside in the early part of the 20th century. A small cemetery, the Old Greenville Cemetery, was nearby.〔http://files.usgwarchives.net/nj/hudson/cemeteries/oldgreenville.txt〕 This park lost much of its land to the city's largest Housing Authority project in 1959, except a small tract in Bayonne, Mercer Park.〔(Curries Woods )〕〔(JC Housding Authority )〕
==Pamrapo==
The area overlapping the city line was earlier called Pamrapo. The name is a derivation of a phrase from the Algonquian language spoken by the Hackensack people, a phratry of the Lenni-Lenape who lived in the northeastern New Jersey at the time of European contact in the 17th century. A possible meaning could be ''rock'' or ''point of rocks'' which would refer to the terrain〔(Woodlands Indians forums )〕〔(Pamrapo )〕〔(Timeline for the Founding and History of the City of Bayonne ), Bayonne Historical Society. Retrieved August 14, 2009.〕 and the original ravine in Bergen Hill, or lower Hudson Palisades, found there. Spellings included ''Pimbrepow'', ''Pembrepock'', ''Pemmerepoch'',〔()〕 ''Pimlipo'', ''Pemrepau'',〔(Seven Settled Towns )〕 ''Pemrapaugh'', ''Pamrapough'',〔(USA archives Bergen deeds )〕 ''Pamrepaw''〔United States Coast Guard Survey:''New York Bay and Harbor and Environs'', Washington, D.C., 1844-45〕 and ''Pamropo''.〔Currier and Ives, 1872〕
Two streets, one in Greenville and another in northern Bayonne still bear the name. Patents for land Achter Kol (beyond the ridge) were issued in 1654,〔History of new Netherland, E.B. Callaghan (c)1855〕 as an extension of the Pavonia, New Netherland settlement, which were centered on Communipaw and Harsimus. The Pamrapo Bank, founded in Bayonne in the 19th century, takes its name from this area.〔(Pamrapo Bank )〕〔(Timeline for the Founding and History of the City of Bayonne )〕 The Central Railroad of New Jersey maintained a station called Pamrapo along the right of way now used by the Hudson Bergen Light Rail
