Elena Moiseenko Buys First Home in Chatham, New Jersey

Aggressive ambition and a strong work ethic combine in Elena Moiseenko, who worked her way through New Jersey Institute of Science & Technology to become an Industrial Engineer with ITT Corporation in Nutley, New Jersey.   Moiseenko did not waver from her practical nature and razor sharp focus on her goals as she worked for ITT.  Choosing her next goal as a purchase of her own home, Moiseenko worked toward her property plan by living with her parents until she felt the time was right.  When it was, Moiseenko bought her first home, a condominium, in Chatham, New Jersey.

Chatham Borough where Industrial Engineer Elena Moiseenko chose to buy her first home, was settled by Europeans in 1710, primarily because the area was a vital crossing of the Passaic River and was the path of a much used Native American Trail.  The region of modern day Chatham Borough was inhabited for thousands of years by the Minsi and Lenni Lenape Native Americans.  The tribes relocated at regular intervals to fixed settlements within their territory, a form of crop rotation and resting of soil, which they worked as an agricultural society.  Initially, the Lenape prevented any permanent settlement by Europeans beyond the area of what is now Jersey City.  When rule of the lands passed to British hands in 1664, permanent English settlements began to occur.  The Indian inhabitants sold their right to the land in 1680, and today Main Street in Chatham, Route 24, is the original trail route of the Native Americans to and from their hunting grounds for millennia.
