Living in West New York, NJ

West New York was mostly a community of Dutch farmers until a tunnel was built in the 1800s connecting the neighborhood to other places in the greater New York area. Down the road, the George Washington Bridge, Lincoln and Holland tunnels, and the railroad brought in a large influx of immigrants after the Civil War, lending to the diverse community that is seen in West New York today. Although the community had been active for many years, the city was not made official until 1898. Today, West New York is a growing community that still gives a nod to its industrial past, but looks forward to what the future holds. According to information from the U.S. Census Bureau's 2011 estimates, the city is home to more than 50,000 residents.
