Weehawken

The landscape around Weehawken is defined by the steep Hudson Palisades above the Hudson River, which have shaped both the urban form and local economy. This compact Hudson County township extends from elevated residential streets to a riverfront opposite Midtown Manhattan, where Port Imperial is a New York Waterway ferry terminal. Weehawken is also associated with the 1804 duel in which Aaron Burr fatally wounded Alexander Hamilton; the historic Dueling Grounds are commemorated by a Hamilton memorial. Its waterfront piers and bluff-top streets underline the close connection between New Jersey’s Palisades and the wider New York metropolitan area.
