While this is a good article, it ignores the iron foundry at Batsto, which pre-dated Hamilton. Thus, the story is incomplete and reads like something researched on Wikipedia.

There were no natural falls at Batsto, so an enterprising entrepreneur dammed the Mullica River and created his own waterfall to power the rudimentary industries of that village in what is now Burlington County. Batsto forged the iron for cannon and artillery used in the Revolution.

It is a fine historical site on County Road 542, and I visit it every time I go back to South Jersey.

Hamilton was a New Yorker. He only did 4 things of note in NJ
1. Kill Hessians
2. Fire artillery at Nassua Hall of the College of New Jersey, which had previously refused admission to Hamilton on the basis that he did not know Greek.
3. helped set up some factories there.
4. Martyred himself to prevent the fruition of Burr's ambitions.

Well, not all of Hamilton's dealings with New Jersey were positive.

For example, iron ore was converted to pig iron and shipped to England. There, the pig iron was used to manufacture a wide variety of products that were shipped back to the colonies for sale.

Substitute "China" for "England"...
