Planning notes for Jersey City
Newport, Jersey City, is a 600-acre master-planned community situated on the Hudson River waterfront. Its historical heritage dates back to the 17th century when the area was part of Pavonia, the first European settlement on the west bank of the North River within the New Netherland province. By the late 19th century, the site became a transit hub as the Erie Railroad's Pavonia Terminal, facilitating the movement of passengers and freight. The modern development of Newport began in 1986.
