Guttenberg /ˈɡʌtənbɜrɡ/ is a town in Hudson County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the town's population was 11,176.[7][8][9] Only four blocks wide, Guttenberg is the ninth-smallest municipality in the state[12][19] and the most densely populated incorporated place in the country, with 57,116 people per square mile of land area.[20]

The population increased by 369 (+3.4%) from the 10,807 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 2,539 (+30.7%) from the 8,268 counted in the 1990 Census.[21] Most of the town's population resides in the Galaxy Towers, a trio of residential skyscrapers overlooking the Hudson River.[22]

It has been described by The New York Times as "an old community of two-story row houses, small stores and light industry."[23]

Geography

Guttenberg is located atop the Hudson Palisades, south of Woodcliff and the Racetrack Section in North Bergen and north of West New York. Its western border is Kennedy Boulevard. Bergenline Avenue, the commercial corridor of North Hudson, runs north and south through the town, and is the heart of "Havana on the Hudson".[24][25] Its eastern border is the Hudson River, opposite Manhattan's Upper West Side.

Guttenberg is located at 40°47′34″N 74°00′16″W / 40.792784°N 74.004572°W (40.792784,-74.004572). According to the United States Census Bureau, the town had a total area of 0.243 square miles (0.628 km2), of which, 0.196 square miles (0.507 km2) of it was land and 0.047 square miles (0.121 km2) of it (19.24%) was water.[1][2]

The town is four blocks long and takes less than a minute to drive through.[23]

History

A 2009 sign on Boulevard East advertising the town's 150th anniversary. In the background is one of the three towers of the Galaxy apartments.

Guttenberg was formerly a farm owned by William Cooper, sold in 1853 to a group of New Yorkers, who had formed the Weehawken Land and Ferry Association. Like nearby Union Hill, it was subdivided and lots were sold mostly to Germans. The company ran two ferries, the Hultz and the Flora, which crossed the Hudson from the landings at the foot of Bulls Ferry Road, Pleasant Valley, Fort Lee, and Spring Street in Manhattan.

Guttenberg was formed as a town on March 9, 1859, from portions of North Bergen Township, but remained as a part of the township that was not fully independent. Guttenberg became part of Union Township when it was formed on February 28, 1861, and became fully independent as of April 1, 1878.[26] The city takes its name from Johannes Gutenberg, the inventor of movable type.[27]

Galaxy Towers, developed by Prudential Insurance Company, were built in the late 1970s on Boulevard East. The three octagonal skyscrapers rise 415 feet (126 m) and contain 1,075 apartments.[28]
