Bloody 6th Ward
The Bloody 6th Ward of New Brunswick, New Jersey was an old neighborhood.[1] The neighborhood started on Easton Avenue, by St. Peter's Church, College Ave., and stretched to the very end of George St. These three streets were the main roads in the 6th Ward. And in between those three roads is where the people of the 6th Ward lived. The people of the town were mainly of Irish origin or Irish immigrants and were sometimes known as the Irish Riviera.[2][3]
The ward was made up of three social groups: "The Shamrocks", "The Falcons", and "The Vaughns". Each social group had a certain area where they would gather. The Shamrocks inhabited Easton Avenue, which, as of 2007, now houses "Boylan's Funeral Home". The Falcons lived on the streets Wykoff and Richardson, and the Vaughns gathered on the opposite side of Easton Avenue, on the edge of the 6th Ward. These social groups competed in sports and occasionally had fights.
