Hudson Waterfront

Hudson Waterfront is an urban area of northeastern New Jersey along the lower reaches of the Hudson River, the Upper New York Bay and the Kill van Kull. It is often used to mean the contiguous urban area between the Bayonne Bridge and the George Washington Bridge that is approximately 19 miles (31 km) long. Historically, the region has been known as Bergen Neck, the lower peninsula, and Bergen Hill, lower Hudson Palisades. The region is very ethnically diverse. Five municipalities are on the list of the 100 cities (with a population over 5,000) with the highest percentages of foreign-born residents: West New York, North Bergen, Union City, Guttenberg and Weehawken. North Hudson has the second-largest Cuban American population in the United States after Miami. The commercial districts of Palisade Park, Fort Lee, Cliffside Park, Edgewater, and Fairview collectively compose a Koreatown. The Hudson River Waterfront Walkway, which includes sections of the East Coast Greenway, travels along the Hudson river.
