Located within the New Jersey Meadowlands, it is the most suburban of the county's municipalities, though large parts of the town are dedicated to light manufacturing, retail, and transportation uses, as well as protected areas.[25]

Secaucus is a derivation of the Algonquian words for "black" (seke or sukit) and "snake" (achgook), or "place of snakes",[26][27] or sekakes, referring to snakes.[28]

History

Sikakes, once an island, was part of the territory purchased by Director-General of New Netherland, Peter Stuyvesant in 1658.[29] The territory was part of what is considered to be the oldest municipality in the state of New Jersey which was first chartered in 1660 as Bergen[30] in the province of New Netherland and, in 1683, became Bergen Township.

Settlement had begun by at least 1733 by the Smith family, whose namesake Abel I. Smith Burial Ground is part of the lore of Secaucus.[31]

Secaucus was originally formed as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 12, 1900, from portions of North Bergen.[32][33] On June 7, 1917, Secaucus was incorporated as a town, replacing Secaucus borough, based on the results of a referendum held on June 5, 1917.[32]

Secaucus was originally an agricultural community specializing in flowers. It later became known for its pig farms in the first half of the 20th century. In the early 1900s the town was home to approximately 55 pig farms, which reached a peak of nearly 250,000 pigs in World War II, outnumbering humans 16 to 1.[34] These farms served the meat demands of Newark and New York, and made the farmers wealthy. Many of them were local politicians, most notably pork peddler Henry B. Krajewski, who ran for New Jersey senator, three times for governor and twice for U.S. President.[35][36] The town's pig farms, rendering plants, and junk yards gave the town a reputation for being one of the most odorous in the New York metropolitan area.[35][37] An ordinance passed in 1947 prohibited new farms, and in the 1950s the pig farms began to dwindle, partially after 11 of the farms were acquired for construction of the New Jersey Turnpike, which would carry tourists who would not appreciate the odor; the last farms were shut down by court order in the late 1950s.[34][35]

In 1963, debris from the demolition of Pennsylvania Station was dumped in the Secaucus Meadowlands. In later decades Secaucus became more of a commuter town. In a non-binding referendum in 1969, 90% of voters in Secaucus chose to leave Hudson County and join Bergen County, as that county was more similar in character and had lower taxes. However, only the state has the authority to change county lines, so it never came to fruition.[38] Today it remains the most suburban town in Hudson County.[36] Despite being geographically located within Hudson County, Secaucus Public Library is a member of the Bergen County Cooperative Library System.[39]

On February 9, 1996, two NJ Transit commuter trains collided at Bergen Junction in Secaucus when a train operating on the Bergen Line ran a signal and sideswiped a train running on the Main Line. The accident occurred during the morning rush hour just south of the current Secaucus Junction station. With three fatalities, the incident is NJ Transit's deadliest accident and was the first to involve fatalities of the passenger and crew on NJ Transit.[40]

New Jersey Monthly magazine ranked Secaucus as its 182nd best place to live in its 2010 rankings of the "Best Places To Live" in New Jersey, after ranking the borough 11th in its 2008 rankings.[41]

Geography

Secaucus is an island in the New Jersey Meadowlands. The Hackensack River runs along western side of town. Penhorn Creek and Cromakill Creek are its eastern borders.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town had a total area of 6.54 square miles (16.95 km2), including 5.83 square miles (15.09 km2) of land and 0.72 square miles (1.86 km2) of water (10.96%).[2][3]

At the southern end of Secaucus is Snake Hill (officially known as Laurel Hill), an igneous rock diabase intrusion jutting up some 150 feet (46 m) from the Meadowlands below, near the New Jersey Turnpike.[42]

Being partly surrounded by the meadowlands, Secaucus provides opportunities to observe the recovery of natural marshes in the town's post-industrial, post-agricultural age. Some marsh areas in the northeast part of town have been filled to provide a new commercial area, and some to build footpaths for nature walks with signs illustrating birds and other wildlife to be seen there.[29] At 27.4%, it has the most open "green" space in of any town in Hudson County.[43]

Secaucus borders the municipalities of Jersey City, Kearny and North Bergen in Hudson County; and Carlstadt, East Rutherford, Lyndhurst, Rutherford in Bergen County.[44][45][46]

Unincorporated communities, localities and place names located partially or completely within the town include:[29][47]

Subsections

North End

 
Secaucus Recreation Center

As its name suggests, the North End in Secaucus, New Jersey, is the section of town north of New Jersey Route 3 and the Secaucus Plaza Central Business District, to which it is connected by Paterson Plank Road. The Hackensack River and its tributary Mill Creek create the other borders for the district.[48]

The North End is one of the older, traditional residential neighborhoods of Secaucus, which itself has been transformed to a commuter town and retail and outlet shopping area in the late 20th century. It is home to Secaucus High School, whose athletic fields are used by the Bergen County Scholastic League. Nearby Schmiddt's Wood is one of the last original hardwood forests in urban North Jersey. As part of the New Jersey Meadowlands District, the areas along the river are characterized by wetlands preservation and restoration areas. Mill Creek Marsh [49] is park administered by the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission and will eventually connect to the Secaucus Greenway. It southern counterpart is known as Riverbend.[50] The Mill Creek Mall, also north of Route 3, but on the other side of Mill Creek close to New Jersey Turnpike Eastern Spur is part of Harmon Meadow

Harmon Cove

 
Hackensack River looking east

Harmon Cove is the western section of Secaucus, New Jersey along the Hackensack River, south of New Jersey Route 3. The name is portmanteau taken from Hartz Mountain, a corporation that owns much land in the New Jersey Meadowlands, which originally developed the area as a gated community in the 1970s with townhouses and highrise residential buildings.[51][52][53][54] Part of the Hackensack RiverWalk Secaucus Greenway passes through the neighborhood, which is north of Anderson Marsh and Snake Hill, home to Hudson County's Laurel Hill Park.

NJ Transit maintained a Harmon Cove station from 1978 until the re-routing of the Bergen County Line and the opening of Secaucus Junction in August 2003.[55] The HX Draw is used by the line to cross the river. NJ Transit bus 329 serves the area. The Hudson Regional Hospital[56] and several hotels are located in Harmon Cove,[57][58] whose main thoroughfare is Meadowlands Parkway,[59] along which office and manufacturing buildings are found. The Harmon Cove Outlet Center is an outlet shopping district[60] further inland from the Hackensack riverfront. Hartz Mountain Industries operates many facilities and properties in Harmon Cove.

Secaucus is home to 11 data centers due to its proximity to New York City and its more favorable costs and storm resiliency.[81]

Arts and culture

The indie rock band, The Wrens, named their 1996 album Secaucus for the town where they resided together and worked for a decade.[82][83]

Secaucus held a pre-Super Bowl "Winter Blast" party during the first weekend of February 2014 to celebrate Super Bowl XLVIII being played in New Jersey. The party featured a number of activities, including an ice skating rink. The town had planned for large crowds, even planning special court sessions in advance to handle the projected surge of potentially disruptive visitors. The turnout was much lower than expected, with Mayor Gonnelli citing the NFL's focus on activities in Manhattan aimed at visitors.[95]

In October 2016, Gary Jeffas resigned from office to fill the position as Town Administrator; his Ward 1 seat expiring in December 2018 was filled by John Gerbasio, who served on an interim basis until the November 2017 election, when he was chosen to serve the balance of the term of office.[104][105][106]

Richard Steffens was chosen unanimously by the council in August 2009 to step in as mayor to finish the term of Dennis Elwell who resigned amid corruption charges on July 28, 2009, and was later convicted.[107] Michael Gonnelli then won a full four-year term in November 2009 and was re-elected for another four years in 2013.[108]

The town is roughly divided into four parts by the intersecting roads of Route 3, which runs east and west,[155] and the Eastern Spur of the New Jersey Turnpike (Interstate 95), which runs north–south.[156] The Route 3 bridges cross the Hackensack River, connecting to East Rutherford; the eastbound bridge, constructed in 1934, was described by state transportation commissioner Diane Gutierrez-Scaccetti in 2022 as being "in the worst condition of any in the state", and is part of $143 million replacement project.[157] Two turnpike interchanges are located within the town: Exit 16E/17[158] for Route 3 and Route 495[159] (which leads to the Lincoln Tunnel), and Exit 15X for the Secaucus Junction station (which opened in late 2005).[160]

Public transportation

Secaucus is the site of NJ Transit's Frank R. Lautenberg Secaucus Junction rail station, which connects NJ Transit's two commuter rail networks in northern New Jersey.[161] As the station is in the south end of the town, access from the rest of Secaucus is limited via County Avenue, Meadowlands Parkway or NJ Turnpike Interchange 15X. The station opened in December 2003, with a 1,100-spot parking lot that allows commuters to park and ride.[162] Discount curbside intercity bus service is also provided outside the station by Megabus, with direct service to Boston and Philadelphia, among other locations.[163]

Numerous NJ Transit buses serve Secaucus, including the 124, 129, 190 and 320 buses to the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Midtown Manhattan, the 78 bus to Newark, the 2 route to Jersey City, the 85 route to Hoboken and local service provided on the 772 route.[164][165][166] There is a bus park-and-ride at the northeast corner of Secaucus.[167]

In the first half of the 20th century the Jersey City, Hoboken and Rutherford Electric Railway operated a trolley line through the then main business district of Secaucus, on Paterson Plank Road from Jersey City and across the Hackensack River to East Rutherford.[citation needed]

The closest airport with scheduled passenger service is Newark Liberty International Airport, which straddles Newark and Elizabeth. The nearest intercity rail station is Newark Penn Station, a one-seat ride from Secaucus Junction.

Media

Secaucus is located within the New York media market, with most of its daily papers available for sale or delivery. Local, county and regional news is covered by The Jersey Journal, the daily newspaper that relocated its offices to Secaucus in 2014 from Jersey City's Journal Square, an area of the city that was named for the newspaper that operated there for 90 years.[168] The Secaucus Reporter is part of The Hudson Reporter group of local weeklies.

Locally, Secaucus is covered by weeklies the River View Observer and El Especialito.[169] The town had been served by the Secaucus Home News, a weekly newspaper that published for 107 years before abruptly shutting down in 2017.[170]

WWOR-TV, channel 9, is a television station licensed to Secaucus, serving the New York metro area television market as the flagship station of the MyNetworkTV programming service. Its studios and main offices are located in Secaucus.[171] The 1987–1989 talk show The Morton Downey Jr. Show was among the WWOR-TV programs filmed in Secaucus.[172][173][174]

The warehouse at 10 Enterprise Avenue was used as the primary filming location for the hospital drama Mercy, which aired on NBC from 2009 to 2010.[175]

The first heat came from a 1947 local ordinance that prohibited, new farms within the town borders. Then, in the early nineteen‐fifties, the New Jersey Turnpike Authority purchased 11 of the 55 farms for a highway right‐of-way.

New Netherland Peter Stuyvesant in 1658 29 The territory was part of what is considered to be the oldest municipality in the state of New Jersey which was first chartered in 1660 as Bergen 30 in the province of New Netherland and in 1683 became Bergen Township Settlement had begun by at least 1733 by the Smith family whose namesake Abel I Smith Burial Ground is part of the lore of Secaucus 31 Secaucus was originally formed as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 12 1900 from portions of North Bergen 32 33 On June 7 1917 Secaucus was incorporated as a town replacing Secaucus borough based on the results of a referendum held on June 5 1917 32 Secaucus was originally an agricultural community specializing in flowers It later became known for its pig farms in the first half of the 20th century In the early 1900s the town was home to approximately 55 pig farms which reached a peak of nearly 250 000 pigs in World War II outnumbering humans 16 to 1 34 These farms served the meat demands of Newark and New York and made the farmers wealthy Many of them were local politicians most notably pork peddler Henry B Krajewski who ran for New Jersey senator three times for governor and twice for U S President 35 36 The town s pig farms rendering plants and junk yards gave the town a reputation for being one of the most odorous in the New York metropolitan area 35 37 An ordinance passed in 1947 prohibited new farms and in the 1950s the pig farms began to dwindle partially after 11 of the farms were acquired for construction of the New Jersey Turnpike which would carry tourists who would not appreciate the odor the last farms were shut down by court order in the late 1950s 34 35 In 1963 debris from the demolition of Pennsylvania Station was dumped in the Secaucus Meadowlands In later decades Secaucus became more of a commuter town In a non binding referendum in 1969 90 of voters in Secaucus chose to leave Hudson County and join Bergen County as that county was more similar in character and had lower taxes However only the state has the authority to change county lines so it never came to fruition 38 Today it remains the most suburban town in Hudson County 36 Despite being geographically located within Hudson County Secaucus Public Library is a member of the Bergen County Cooperative Library System 39 On February 9 1996 two NJ Transit commuter trains collided at Bergen Junction in Secaucus when a train operating on the Bergen Line ran a signal and sideswiped a train running on the Main Line The accident occurred during the morning
