All of present-day Union County was part of the Elizabethtown Tract, which was purchased in 1664, by English colonists from the Lenape Native Americans that lived in the area of present-day Elizabeth, New Jersey. Union County was formed on March 19, 1857, from portions of Essex County; it was the last of New Jersey's 21 counties to be established. With a population density of 4,955 inhabitants per square mile in 2000, Union County was the 15th-most densely populated county in the United States.

If you are into industrial blight, then Arthur Kill is the place for you! Endure all the sights, sounds, and smells of Staten Island without actually going there! Maybe get a tetanus shot first.


Elizabeth River
( 40.67718, -74.22651 )

The Elizabeth River is highly urbanized and difficult to access, hence the purple markers on the map.

The lower Passaic River is extremely polluted. I wouldn't go anywhere near it.
