Elizabeth: Container Port and the Cradle of New Jersey Government
Elizabeth served as the capital of the Province of East Jersey from 1668 until 1682, and then as the first state capital of New Jersey from 1776 until 1790. The Boxwood Hall on East Jersey Street is where Elias Boudinot, president of the Continental Congress, hosted George Washington on his way to his 1789 inauguration in New York. The city today is the seat of Union County and the fourth-largest in New Jersey.
Port Elizabeth, operated jointly with neighboring Newark as Port Newark-Elizabeth, handles the bulk of the East Coast's containerized trade. The marine terminal was the first in the world designed for container shipping when it opened in 1962, several years after Malcom McLean's Ideal-X sailed from nearby Port Newark in 1956 on the voyage that launched containerization. Jersey Gardens, a two-million-square-foot outlet mall, occupies reclaimed wetlands next to the port.
