In fact, it was during Washington's retreat from Fort Lee in November 1776 that Thomas Paine composed his pamphlet, "The American Crisis", which began with the recognized phrase, "These are the times that try men's souls".

In recent years, Fort Lee has seen a surge of residents of Korean origin which has led to the conversion of much of the town into a large Koreatown, similar to Chinatowns of such cities as New York and San Francisco in that many traditional Korean stores and restaurants may be seen in Fort Lee, and the hangul letters of the Korean alphabet are as common as signs in English in parts of the downtown area. The Korean people are an East Asian Ethnic group. Most Koreans speak the Korean language. Koreatown ( Korean: 코리아타운 is a term to describe the Korean ethnic enclave within a City or Metropolitan area.

Motion picture industry

The history of cinema in the United States can trace its roots to the East Coast where at one time, Fort Lee was the motion picture capital of America. The history of film spans over a hundred years from the latter part of the 19th century to the beginning of the 21st century. The East Coast of the United States, also known as the "Eastern Seaboard" or "Atlantic Seaboard" refers to the easternmost coastal states in the central and northern The industry got its start at the end of the 19th century with the construction of Thomas Edison's "Black Maria", the first motion picture studio in West Orange, New Jersey. A movie studio (aka film studio) is in the established sense of the term a company that distributes films. West Orange is a township in central Essex County, New Jersey, United States. Cities in New Jersey offered land at costs considerably less than New York City, and the cities and towns of New Jersey near New York benefited greatly as a result of the phenomenal growth of the film industry at the turn of the 20th century. The City of New York

Filmmaking began attracting both capital and an innovative workforce and when the Kalem Company began using Fort Lee in 1907 as a location for filming in the area, other filmmakers quickly followed. The Kalem Company was an American Film studio founded in New York City in 1907 by George Kleine, Samuel Long, and Frank J In 1909 a forerunner of Universal Studios, the Champion Film Company, built the first studio. Universal Studios (sometimes called Universal Pictures or Universal City Studios) a subsidiary of NBC Universal, is a major Global American They were quickly followed by others who either built new studios or who leased facilities in Fort Lee. In the 1910s and 1920s, film companies such as the Independent Motion Picture Co. , Peerless Studios, The Solax Company, Éclair Studios, Goldwyn Picture Corporation, American Méliès (Star Films), World Pictures, Biograph Studios, Fox Film Corporation, Pathé Frères, Metro Pictures Corporation, Victor Film Company, Selznick Pictures Corporation were all making pictures in Fort Lee. Solax Studios was an American motion picture studio founded in 1910 by executives from the Gaumont Film Company of France. Goldwyn Pictures Corporation was an American Motion picture production company founded in 1916 by Samuel Gelbfisz in partnership with Broadway Georges Méliès ( December 8, 1861 &ndash January 21, 1938) full name Marie-Georges-Jean Méliès, was a French Biograph Studios was a studio facility and film laboratory complex built in 1912 by the Biograph Company, formerly American Mutoscope and Biograph Company, at 807 This article deals with the Pathé movie company For their music business see Pathé Records.

Mary Pickford ( April 8, 1892 – May 29, 1979) was an Academy Award -winning Canadian motion picture

With the offshoot businesses that sprang up to service the film studios, for nearly two decades Fort Lee experienced unrivaled prosperity. However, just as the development of Fort Lee production facilities was gaining strength, Nestor Studios of Bayonne, New Jersey, built the first studio in Hollywood in 1911. The Nestor Motion Picture Company of Bayonne New Jersey, owned by David Horsley and his brother William, opened the first motion picture studio Bayonne is a city in Hudson County, New Jersey, United States, south of Jersey City. Nestor Studios owned by David and William Horsley, later merged with Universal Studios, and William Horsley's other company Hollywood Film Laboratory is now the oldest existing company in Hollywood, now called the Hollywood Digital Laboratory. California's more hospitable and cost effective climate led to the eventual shift of virtually all filmmaking to the West Coast by the 1930s. California ( is a US state on the West Coast of the United States, along the Pacific Ocean. The " West Coast " " Western Seaboard " or " Pacific Seaboard " are terms for the westernmost coastal states of the Western United States Some companies, such as American Méliès, moved to San Antonio, Texas, and others moved to Jacksonville, Florida. However, the companies which moved to Texas and Florida soon folded or joined the move to Hollywood.

Since 2000 the Fort Lee film commission has been charged with celebrating the history of film in Fort Lee as well as to attract film and television production companies to the borough.
