Paterson (/ˈpætərsən/ PAT-ər-sən[21]) is the largest city in and the county seat of Passaic County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.[22] As of the 2020 United States census, the city was the state's third-most-populous municipality,[23] with a population of 159,732.[11][12][24]
A prominent mill town within the New York area, Paterson has been known as the Silk City for its once-dominant role in silk production during the latter half of the 19th century.[1] It has since evolved into a major destination for Hispanic immigrants as well as for immigrants from Turkey, the Arab world, and South Asia. Paterson has the nation's second-largest per capita Muslim population.[25]

"Nicknamed the 'Silk City' for its 19th-century silk factories, Paterson has a place in labor history as the site of a six-month strike in 1913 by the Industrial Workers of the World, or 'Wobblies,' who were viewed as a threat to capitalism at a time when the United States had a radical labor movement."
