During the American Revolutionary War, the area was in the hands of the British who controlled New York. In the Battle of Paulus Hook, Major Light Horse Harry Lee successfully attacked a British fortification on August 19, 1779, which was the catalyst for the British losing control of what is now modern New Jersey. The battle itself took place within what is present-day Jersey City.
