Constable Hook, New Jersey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Constable Hook also called Constable's Hook, is a short cape located on the north side of the outlet of Kill van Kull into Upper New York Bay (). It forms the eastmost extent of the industrial Port Johnson in southeast Bayonne. Historically the term may be used as synonymously with Bergen Point such as when it defined the southern extent of Bergen Township in 1693. Site of a Standard Oil fire of July 1900, Constable Hook still has oil company docks including Exxon.
