Redigerer Perth Amboy (avsnitt)

===Skotsk koloni===
Skotske kalvinistiske bosettere var de første europeiske immigranter som slo seg til i 1683 i Perth Amboy (først kalt ''Scottish Colony''). De var blitt rekruttert av [[Robert Barclay]], som inviterte dem til å kolonisere denne delen av [[East Jersey]]-kolonien. Barclay var [[kveker]], slik som en mindre del av nybyggerne, og han ble senere ikke-bosatt guvernør av provinsen.<ref>DeAngelo, Walter A.

"Scottish Colony, 1683 – Following the purchase of a share of East Jersey by Scottish Quaker and later Governor Robert Barclay, Scottish settlers were recruited and began to arrive in Perth Amboy and surrounding areas beginning in 1683. Most were not Quakers, but rather Calvinists from Edinburgh, Montrose, Aberdeen and Kelso. Settlers and their servants were granted lots in Perth Amboy and areas of Monmouth County. Perth Amboy became the capital of East New Jersey in 1686."</ref>
