Fort Lee, Borough in Bergen County, New Jersey
Fort Lee occupies 2.87 square miles along the Hudson River at the eastern edge of Bergen County, adjacent to the George Washington Bridge.
The area developed around Fort Constitution in 1776, where General George Washington attempted to prevent British ships from advancing up the Hudson River.
