Caven Point redirect

edit

Greetings. Currently Caven Point redirects here - I noticed this in the National Docks Secondary page. Caven Point is not in LSP - it should redirect to Port Liberté, Jersey City - the entry for which does mention that it is located on Caven Point. I don't know how to make that change and can't quite figure out the instructions. I'm placing this note here and on the National DOcks page. Thanks! Jwbkmn (talk) 21:27, 1 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Geography

edit

Most of the park's area is on landfill created by the Central Railroad of New Jersey (CRRNJ) and the Lehigh Valley Railroad, defunct companies whose lines once terminated there. In the northeast corner of the park is the CRRNJ Terminal, a historic transportation building. Statue Cruises offers ferries to Statue of Liberty National Monument, Ellis Island and Liberty Island that depart nearby. A 50 foot (15 m) section of track from the Lehigh Valley Railroad can be found in the park.[citation needed]

The southern Caven Point section of the park is separated from the main part of the park by the Liberty National Golf Club and is accessible along the water's edge using the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway. The long thin pier at the foot of Chapel Avenue that was once part of the park has been demolished. The Peninsula Park lies between the Big Basin of the Morris Canal and the Tidewater Basin in Paulus Hook. The Liberty Landing Marina is located on the Big Basin.[citation needed]

Liberty Industrial Park, a collection of warehouse distribution & light manufacturing facilities, lies at the southern end of the park.[citation needed]

History

edit

...that formerly supported vast oyster banks as part of the territory of the Hackensack Indians, who called the area Communipaw and used it as a summer encampment. In the seventeenth century it became part of the colonial province of New Netherland, the patroonship Pavonia. The area was known as Jan the Lacher's Hook, so called for the man who was the bowery's second superintendent, Jan Everts Bout. For many years, the village, often referred to by Washington Irving, existed where the Liberty Science Center now stands. For hundreds of years it was a ferry port for local communities of Bergen, Bergen Township, and Hudson County, as well suburban and long-distance travelers to Manhattan.[citation needed]

Construction of the North River Tunnels, containerization, and the Interstate Highway System, made the area less viable. The decline of industry, deterioration of rail and maritime infrastructure, and toxic waste, eventually made the area obsolete. Abandoned buildings and brownfields dominated the landscape after the mid-twentieth century, though there was still some manufacturing and recreational use.[citation needed]

Points of interest

edit

Freedom Way and Liberty Walkway

edit

A road called Freedom Way goes through the center and serves as a barrier between the area closed to the public, to its west, and the area that is open to the public, to its east. It has many bike paths, walkways, and fields.[citation needed]

The name "Liberty Walk" was already associated with Philadelphia, in publications such as a booklet The Liberty Walk Through Historic Old Philadelphia published by the American Wax Museum, Philadelphia (before 1969), which listed a walk round 23 sites of historic interest.[citation needed]

Transportation

edit

Hornblower Cruises operates ferries to Ellis Island and Liberty Island, and a water taxi to Paulus Hook and the Battery Park City Ferry Terminal.[citation needed]
