Biographical History
Cornelius Board (d. 1745) found iron ore in 1739 on a site in Bergen County (now Passaic County), New Jersey while searching for deposits of copper ore, and he built a small forge on the north branch of the Pequannock River. Board sold the tract of sixteen acres on April 15, 1740 to five members of the Ogden family of Newark: Colonel Josiah Ogden (ca. 1679-1763), David Ogden Sr. (1707-1798), David Ogden Jr. (1726-1801), John Ogden Jr. (1709-1795), and Judge Uzal Ogden (1705-1780). The Ogdens, in partnership with Samuel and Nicholas Gouveneur, formed The Ringwood Company and built a furnace in 1742. The Ogdens ran the company from offices in Newark and New York City until they sold it to the American Iron Company in 1764.
