Aaron Louzada

Aaron Louzada was born in London sometime between 1693 and 1695, where his family had probably arrived to escape the Spanish Inquisition. He arrived in New York in 1717 where he soon purchased 877 acres of land. The land he purchased was ultimately the basis for much of modern Bound Brook, New Jersey. Aaron’s trade in spices and liquor succeeded and he became known for his generous contributions to Jewish communal causes in New York and New Jersey.
