"Bergen Hill the name given to the emergence of the Hudson Palisades along the Bergen Neck peninsula in Hudson County, New Jersey and the inland neighborhood ...
of the Jersey City where they rise from the coastal plain at the Upper New York Bay. The name is taken from the original 17th-century New Netherland settlement of Bergen, which in Dutch means hills.
Locally, Bergen Hill has sometimes been referred to colloquially as "The Hill" and was part of Bergen City, one of the municipalities that elected to merge with Jersey City in the 1860s, and is part of the section of the city known as Bergen-Lafayette. The neighborhood radiates from Communipaw Junction, at the intersection of Communipaw Avenue, Summit Avenue, and Grand Street where the toll house for the Bergen Point Plank Road was once situated. The avenues ascend the hill to the West Side, north to Five Corners, and south to Greenville. To the east is Communipaw-Lafayette and Liberty State Park. The Jersey City Redevelopment Agency has called the special improvement district along the commercial corridors of Monticello Avenue and MLK Drive the Jackson Hill Main Street" - (Wikipedia (en) 14.02.2021)
