Bayonne: Peninsula City and a Port Between Two Bays
Bayonne occupies a peninsula in Hudson County, bordered by Upper New York Bay on the east, Newark Bay on the west, and the Kill Van Kull to the south separating it from Staten Island. The city has a population of roughly 66,000 and has historically been defined by petroleum refining, rail yards, and port facilities.
The Bayonne Bridge, a through-arch span connecting the city to Staten Island, opened in 1931 and was at that time the longest steel arch bridge in the world. In 2017 the bridge's roadway was raised 64 feet to allow the largest post-Panamax container vessels to pass beneath on their way to the container terminals in Newark and Elizabeth. The Bayonne Military Ocean Terminal, which served as an Army port during both world wars, was decommissioned in 1999 and is being redeveloped as a mixed-use district.
The Hudson-Bergen Light Rail terminates at 8th Street Station in Bayonne, connecting the city to Jersey City and Hoboken. Broadway runs the length of the peninsula as the main commercial street. Bayonne was the site of the first Port Jersey container facility and remains a hub for cargo and petroleum handling.
