Weehawken is a Hudson County township occupying both the top of the Palisades and a narrow waterfront along the Hudson River. Boulevard East follows the ridge and is known for sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline, while the waterfront has developed with residential buildings, offices, hotels, parks, and ferry facilities. The Lincoln Tunnel connects Weehawken directly with Midtown Manhattan, and Hudson-Bergen Light Rail, buses, and ferries provide additional regional transportation. Steep streets and stairways link the upper neighborhoods with lower areas near the river. The township contains historic homes, apartment buildings, neighborhood businesses, schools, and waterfront public spaces within a very small land area. Weehawken borders Union City and West New York, with Hoboken located just to the south. Its dramatic geography, close relationship to Manhattan, and concentration of transportation routes have shaped the community for generations, while newer waterfront development continues to add to its residential and commercial profile.
