Security Guards in Bayonne
Bayonne is a city in Hudson County in the U.S. state of New Jersey, in the Gateway Region on Bergen Neck, a peninsula between Newark Bay to the west, the Kill Van Kull to the south, and New York Bay to the east. At the 2020 United States census, it was the state's 15th-most-populous municipality.
Bayonne was formed as a township in 1861, from portions of Bergen Township, and reincorporated as a city by an act of the New Jersey Legislature in 1869. At the time it was formed, Bayonne included the communities of Bergen Point, Constable Hook, Centreville, Pamrapo and Saltersville. While somewhat diminished, traditional manufacturing, distribution, and maritime activities remain a driving force of the economy of the city.
A portion of the Port of New York and New Jersey is located in the city at Port Jersey, as is the Cape Liberty Cruise Port. In the mid-nineteenth century, wealthy New Yorkers and Americans, including presidents and authors, came to Bayonne to stay at it's hotels and enjoy it's brief status as an early beach resort. It was also an early boat building and yachting center where its fishers and oystermen supplied the regional market. As Bayonne began to urbanize and industrialize in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, it became home to thousands of European immigrants landing at Ellis Island in New York Harbor. In 1888, Bayonne Medical Center opened in response to the city's growth. Bayonne became one of the largest centers in the nation for refining crude oil and Standard Oil of New Jersey's facility—which had grown from its original establishment in 1877—and its 6,000 employees made it the city's largest employer. At the turn of the 20th century, the City Beautiful movement had spread throughout cities in the United States. Part of its mission was to preserve public space for recreational activities in urban industrial communities. The Hudson County Parks Commission was created in 1892 to plan and develop a county wide park and boulevard system similar to those found in other cities. From 1892 to 1897, Hudson Boulevard (now John F. Kennedy Boulevard) was built to connect the future park system from Bayonne through Jersey City to North Bergen. In 1916, Stephen R. Gregg—Bayonne Park opened along the city's western shoreline on Newark Bay. At 97.5 acres it is the largest park in Bayonne and was designed by Charles N. Lowrie, landscape architect for the Hudson County Parks Department. The park was named after Bayonne resident and World War II veteran Stephen R. Gregg in 1995.
In 1931, the Bayonne Bridge opened as the world's longest steel arch main span in the world connecting Bayonne and Staten Island over the Kill Van Kull and was designed by bridge builder Othmar Ammann and architect Cass Gilbert. The bridge physically linked Bayonne to New York City for the first time. From 2013 to 2019, the bridge was rebuilt and its span elevated to accommodate the new Panamax ships for the widened Panama Canal. In 1942, the United States Navy opened the Bayonne Naval Drydock, the largest dry dock on the Eastern Seaboard, and the Bayonne Naval Supply Depot as a logistics and supply base. At the conclusion of the war, the MOTBY became a port for the Atlantic Reserve Fleet, New York, also known as the Mothball Fleet, and later a Naval Inactive Ship Maintenance Facility (NISMF). In 1967, the peninsula became a United States Army base. The Military Sealift Command (MSC) used the base during the Persian Gulf War and during operations in Somalia and Haiti. The facility closed in 1999 under a 1995 directive from the Base Realignment and Closure commission. In 2004, Cape Liberty Cruise Port opened at the MOTBY with the Voyager of the Seas becoming the first passenger ship to depart from a New Jersey port in almost 40 years.
