About Jersey City, Hudson County
Jersey City is New Jersey's second-largest city, a dense Hudson River waterfront hub directly across from Lower Manhattan whose skyline of gold-glass finance towers earned it the name 'Wall Street West.' Consistently ranked among the most ethnically diverse cities in the United States, it blends immigrant enclaves like India Square with a fast-growing arts scene. Its shoreline frames the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, tying the city to the classic American immigration story.
History of Jersey City
- The land was home to the Lenape people; Henry Hudson explored the area for the Dutch in 1609, and it fell under Dutch New Netherland until the English took control in 1664.
- Jersey City was reincorporated on January 23, 1829, and again on February 22, 1838, when it became fully independent of the older township of Bergen.
Landmarks and Places in Jersey City
- Liberty Science Center, a major hands-on science museum and home to one of the largest planetariums in the Western Hemisphere.
- The Colgate Clock near Exchange Place, an octagonal clock 50 feet across that was billed as the world's largest clock when built in 1924.
The Jersey City Economy
- Banking and finance anchor the waterfront; major firms with large Jersey City operations have made the district one of the country's biggest finance hubs, hence 'Wall Street West.'
- The Goldman Sachs Tower on the waterfront was for years the tallest building in New Jersey.
- Technology, professional services, and the arts have grown alongside finance as the waterfront filled with high-rises.
Community Life in Jersey City
- India Square / 'Little India' along Newark Avenue in the Journal Square area holds one of the highest concentrations of Asian Indians in the Western Hemisphere, with Punjabi, Gujarati, Bengali, and South Indian restaurants and street food like chaat, samosas, and dosas.
- Roosevelt Stadium hosted Jackie Robinson's professional debut with the Montreal Royals on April 18, 1946, when he went 4-for-5 with a home run against the Jersey City Giants, breaking the modern color line in organized baseball.
