Jersey City, New Jersey dates back to the 1630s, which firmly places it on the list of contenders for the oldest cities in the US.
Originally a fur-trading settlement on the Hudson River, the city played a vital role in welcoming thousands of immigrants to the US during the nineteenth century when all new arrivals were processed through near-by Ellis Island.
Today you can visit Liberty Park for wonderful views of the Manhattan Skyline, the Statue of Liberty, and Ellis Island. There are also several historic sites to visit including the 1917 William Trent House Museum, the American Labor Museum, and the Battleship New Jersey from WW II. Children will love the fascinating Liberty Science Center.
