Perth Amboy: Colonial Capital on the Arthur Kill
Perth Amboy served as the capital of the Province of East Jersey from 1686 until its merger with West Jersey, and was one of the two capitals of Royal New Jersey alongside Burlington. The Proprietary House on Kearny Avenue is the only surviving residence of a British colonial governor in the original thirteen colonies and was the last home of William Franklin, son of Benjamin Franklin and final royal governor of New Jersey.
The city sits at the mouth of the Raritan River where it meets the Arthur Kill, a strait separating New Jersey from Staten Island. Perth Amboy's harbor historically handled clay, coal, and petroleum, and the shoreline remains dotted with industrial facilities. The Outerbridge Crossing connects the city to Staten Island, while ferry service across the Raritan to South Amboy operates seasonally.
The city has a population of roughly 53,000 and is majority Hispanic, with especially strong Puerto Rican and Dominican communities. The Perth Amboy waterfront promenade and the surrounding downtown have been the subject of sustained redevelopment since the early 2000s.
