South Kearny, New Jersey

The Passaic River flows along its western border opposite a similarly industrial portion of the Ironbound district of Newark.

[3] The Newark and New York Railroad Bridge, part of Central Railroad of New Jersey, The Newark Plank Road, and the Morris Canal all crossed the point running parallel to each other.

Currently, both the Lincoln Highway and The Pulaski Skyway traverse South Kearny, a ramp of the latter built specifically to spur industrial development.

[4] Among the many facilities that are located there are the Hudson County Correctional Facility and River Terminal,[5] a massive distribution warehouse that includes the former site of a Western Electric's Kearny Works manufacturing plant and the Kearny Yard of Federal Shipbuilding and Drydock Company.

[6] Since the 2010s the area has been undergoing a transformation from industrial and distribution functions repurposed spaces.
