		The Passaic River Basin is roughly elliptical in shape, and drains approximately 835 square miles of Northern New Jersey and Southern New York State.
		The flood plain of the Passaic River ranges from 5,000 to 20,000 feet in width throughout much of the Central Basin, narrowing to approximately 100 to 4,000 feet at Chatham Borough.
		Prior to 1902, flood control for the Passaic River Basin was limited to ditching local swamps and desnagging and enlarging sections of the Passaic River's channel.

		The first record known of white men to visit the Falls is given in an account of two Labadist missionaries in March 1680, who with an Indian guide came up the Passaic River to the present city of Passaic and then on foot to the Falls.
		It is quite possible that others had seen the Falls before this, for the Acquackanonk tract was secured from the Indians in April 1678, and probably some of the patentees were over the ground which extended up to the Falls.
		The wonders of the Falls was advertised by Abraham Godwin in the New York newspapers as early as 1770 in which he stated that he ran a stage from Pawles Hook to the Falls and also maintained a good inn nearby.
