Palisades Park

Palisades Park is a borough in New Jersey situated along the Hudson River with rolling terrain and prominent cliffs forming its natural boundaries. The municipality comprises both residential neighborhoods and commercial districts that serve the local community.

The community was established as an independent borough in 1899 through legislative action, forming from sections of the former Ridgefield Township. This creation laid the foundation for local governance in the area.

The Broad Avenue district functions as the heart of Korean-American life, with restaurants, shops, and educational centers shaping daily activity. This area reflects how the community has established itself as a significant presence in the region.

Community meetings happen regularly at the municipal building on Broad Avenue, where visitors can learn about local activities. The area is accessible by car and has parking available near commercial districts.

The place hosts one of the largest Korean-American populations outside of Asia, making it a distinctive center of this cultural community. This characteristic shapes everyday commerce and community life in visible ways.
