Bayonne, Industrial port city in Hudson County, United States
Located on a peninsula between Newark Bay and New York Bay, Bayonne extends over 11 square miles with nearly half of its area consisting of water.
The settlement started as Bergen Neck under Dutch rule in 1646, evolved into Konstable Hoeck, and received incorporation as Bayonne city in 1869.
Multiple generations of Italian, Irish, and Polish communities have established neighborhoods throughout Bayonne, contributing to the city's current demographic composition.
The Hudson-Bergen Light Rail connects Bayonne residents to regional transportation hubs, with stations distributed along the eastern side of the peninsula.
The city functions as the northern terminus for several major pipeline systems, including the 1,500-mile Big Inch pipeline stretching from Longview, Texas.
