By 1908; when Haledon became independent from Manchester Township; thousands of southern and eastern European immigrants settled in the borough and its surrounding area. Immigrants found work in textile mills; machine shops; and other industries located in proximity to the city of Paterson and the Passaic River and its mighty Great Falls. Land promoters spurred home building in Haledon; a streetcar suburb. In 1913; nearly 25;000 workers went on strike; demanding an eight-hour workday. During the six-month strike; Haledon became the workers’ haven for free speech and assembly as they demanded safer workplaces; a living wage; and an end to child labor. Archival photographs; documents; and postcards from 1890 to 1930 share the story of workers and immigrants who fought for the workplace benefits widely enjoyed by Americans today.
