Riverbend (Hudson County)

The smaller Riverbend District (40°44′12″N 74°09′27″W / 40.736722°N 74.157586°W / 40.736722; -74.157586) is located in Harrison at a bend in the Passaic River in West Hudson across from Newark Penn Station and is the site of Sports Illustrated Stadium.

[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][excessive citations] The larger Riverbend Section (40°44′17″N 74°06′26″W / 40.738088°N 74.107161°W / 40.738088; -74.107161) is on the banks of the Hackensack River and is part of the New Jersey Meadowlands District.

In the river not far from the mouth of the tributary Penhorn Creek is the point where the municipal borders of Jersey City, Secaucus, and Kearny meet.

[13] This Riverbend is in many ways typical of the New Jersey Meadowlands, a combination of marshes, industry, and rail infrastructure (namely the Northeast Corridor Line as it approaches Secaucus Junction).

To the southeast are the Croxton Yard, and the Hudson Generating Station, the PATH Newark Line, and New Jersey Transit Hoboken Terminal-bound trains.
