Kearny: Scottish Soccer and Hudson County Industry
Kearny sits in Hudson County along the Passaic and Hackensack Rivers and the Meadowlands. The town has a population of approximately 42,000. It was named for General Philip Kearny, the Mexican-American War and Civil War officer who was killed at the Battle of Chantilly in 1862 and buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
In the late nineteenth century Kearny drew heavy immigration from Scotland, particularly from Paisley, when the Clark Thread Company and Marshall Flax Spinning relocated operations from the United Kingdom and brought much of their workforce. The Scottish heritage persists through pubs, social clubs, and Kearny's unusual reputation as the soccer capital of the United States. Three of the eleven players on the 1930 U.S. national team that played in the first World Cup were from Kearny, and players including John Harkes, Tab Ramos, and Tony Meola grew up in the town in more recent generations.
Industrial land in the Meadowlands section of Kearny supports warehousing, trucking, and specialty manufacturing. The Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission treatment plant and the former Koppers coke works occupy parts of the lower sections of the town.
