the Heart of
Jersey city
our history
In the very shadow of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, Jersey City rests on a peninsula formed by the Hudson and the Hackensack Rivers. Its history is rooted in the transportation industry. Many Irish immigrants in the mid-1900s were attracted to Jersey City’s canal and railroad industries. At the turn of the century they were joined by increasing numbers of Italians, Hungarians, and Poles, also lured by the industry in Hudson County, the gateway from New York City westward. This smallest of New Jersey’s counties is still the transportation center of the state, with eight trunk line railroads ending in the county and the Holland and Lincoln Tunnels carrying thousands of cars and trucks to and from New York City daily.
