Dunkerhook: Slave Community?

ABSTRACT

The name "Dunkerhook" refers to a small section of suburban Paramus, New Jersey reputed to be the former site of a "slave community." According to local histories and an historic marker at the site, Dunkerhook was once home to a population of African Americans, many or all of whom were slaves, as well as a "slave school" and "slave church." However, primary historic documentation establishes that Dunkerhook was populated not by slaves, but rather primarily by free African Americans. This article presents the evidence for this conclusion, coupled with a discussion regarding the discrepancy between oral tradition and historic records. This discrepancy is explained as a result of the historic African American population's social and economic status in New Jersey, possibly coupled with false contemporary notions regarding African American demographic history in this state.
