Description
Central Railroad of New Jersey Terminal, sometimes known as Communipaw Terminal, is at the mouth of the Hudson River. Today the terminal is part of Liberty State Park, and along with nearby Ellis Island and Statue of Liberty recalls the era of massive immigration through the Port of New York and New Jersey. It is estimated that around 10.5 million entered the country through this station.
The area has long been known by as Communipaw, which in the Algonquian language Lenape means big landing place at the side of a river.
The terminal is now on the National Register of Historic Places.
