Vaughn McKoy, Esq. a Patersonian and PSEG corporate lawyer successfully advocated for the restoration of The Great Falls In Paterson, NJ. It is now a National Historic Site! 

After the Revolutionary War ended, Alexander Hamilton began promoting his views on the economic needs of the new nation. He was concerned over the lack of industry in the United States; during colonial times, it was prohibited by English law. Hamilton believed that a strong industrial system was the best way to help the United States gain financial independence and become a world power.

The Great Falls was chosen because it was an imposing testament to the force of nature.

In 1792, his organization purchased 700 acres of land above and below the Great Falls and established the city of Paterson, N.J.
