Paterson, NJ (also called the Silk City or P-town), is one of the roughest places to live. The city was the first industrial city in the country, and the main production item was silk (nicknamed the silk city). Now, that age has come to an end and the city is a poverty-stricken wasteland. The city's residents are mainly Hispanic and Black. Paterson has a very high crime rate and is a very dangerous place. It is a very corrupt city, covered in graffiti, and has drug dealers on every street corner. P-town is a nickname given to it by its younger residents. Paterson has a population of about 150,000 and is currently the third largest city in the state of New Jersey. It is located in Passaic County and is the county seat. And above all, the city is not welcome to rich wiggers wanting thier little taste of the ghetto, so if you're not originally from Paterson don't go there (especially if you're white, but no other races are excluded). AND I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH!!!
Paterson, NJ is one of the most ghetto cities in the United States.

Once one of the mightiest industrial cities in the world this city has become a typical stinking, crack infested, deteriorating northern Jersey cesspool of minority underachievement and jihadist terror cells. The "Great Paterson Falls" looks like Willie Wonka's chocolate river waterfall placed in an urban setting.
Aren't there a lot of whores in Paterson, NJ?

A town in Passaic County (meaning North NJ) next to a ghetto town called Paterson. Paterson used to be nice, but then a lot of hispanics and negative-charged people moved in giving it and WEST Paterson a bad name. Paterson people think WP is lame or boring b/c its pretty safe and relativly friendly.
A lot of Paterson people move to W.Paterson when they get enough money to move into the apartments (that are ratehr going downhill) and enroll their kids in WP schools (or enroll when they are still in Paterson).
If you call West Paterson 'Paterson' a lot of people (especially older, lifelong residents) will get pissed and correct you since WP isn't a ghetto full of gangs, drugs but families, some of whom have been there for a long time.
My friend in town recently told me they voted to change the name to Woodland Park or soemthing with the initals WP to try and knock-off the confusion.
WP also has the same area-code as Little Falls (another next-door town) so along with Paterson, some people mistake WP for Little Falls, but that isn't nearly as bad since LF is also a nice little town with a cutesy little waterfall which stems its name.
My grandparents hate when people mistake West Paterson for Paterson.
PatersonKid: Ahhh man. Dis town is like...so got-damn lame!
WPkid: Don't you belong in Paterson??
West Paterson, NJ is a pretty nice place to grow up.

A location in New Jersey, west of Paterson, Always refered to as paterson. Any time this town is mentioned people automatically think it is the extreme ghetto and refer to you living in the ghetto. This town is never marked on a map. Most of its attends are forced to go to the Regional High School, this town is the fall off of hispanics, blacks and whites, who have migrated from Paterson. Those who think they are now better than the residents of Paterson. This town is heavily populated with ghetto people, Guidos and fake ass girls.
Kenny: I live in West Paterson, NJ.
Sam: Oh shit you live in the Ghetto.
Kenny: NAH ITS WEST OF PATERSON.
