This article appears in Volume V22, Page 118 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: POL-PRE
PORT JERVIS , a city of Orange county, New
York
 , U.S.A., on the
Delaware
  river, at its junction with the Neversink, 88 m. N.W. of New
York
  city by rail, and at the intersection of the boundary lines of the states of New York, New
Jersey
  and
Pennsylvania
 . Pop. (1900), 9385, of whom 895 were foreign-born; (19'o census), 9564. It is served by the Erie and the New York, Ontario & Western railways. The beauty of the scenery in its vicinity has made the city a summer resort. At Port Jervis are situated the extensive shops of the Erie railway. Among the manufactures are wearing apparel, silk, glass, and silver ware. The value of the factory products increased from $1,009,081 in 1900 to $1,635,215 in 1905, or 62 %. Port Jervis was laid out in '826, soon after
work
  began on the
Delaware
  & Hudson Canal; it owes its origin to that waterway (now abandoned), and was named in honour of John Bloomfield Jervis (1795-1885), the engineer who constructed the canal, who, in 1836, was in charge of the construction of the Croton Aqueduct, and wrote Railway Property (1859) and The Construction and Management of Railways (186'). Port Jervis was incorporated as a
village
  in 1853, and was chartered as a city in 1907.
