Historic Bayonne

Settled by the Dutch in 1646, Bayonne was originally called Bergen Neck and later was known as Konstable Hoeck (Constable Hook) when it was consolidated with Bergen Point, Centerville, and Salterville. It became a township in 1861. In 1869 it was incorporated as a city and renamed Bayonne. From 1850 until World War I, Bayonne was renowned for its yacht building. Since 1875 it has been a centre for oil refining, and it is now the northern terminus for several pipeline systems, including the Big Inch (about 1,500 miles [2,400 km] long) from Longview, Texas.
