Bulls Ferry (also Bull's Ferry) is an area along the

North Bergen in New Jersey. It takes its name from a pre-Revolutionary settlement belonging to the Bull family, who operated a row-and-sail ferry to the burgeoning city of New York across the river.[1]

fort at Bergen Neck.[8]

Like

Sandy Hook on the Jersey shore).[citation needed
]

A number of roads ran down the

Hudson Palisades to the ferry slip. Bull's Ferry Road was the original name of Park Avenue and Woodcliff Avenues up on the palisades in North Hudson,[9][10] and is still used for a street winding around the Stonehenge Tower and descending from Boulevard East to River Road in North Bergen.[11] Another, simply called Ferry Road, passes under the Galaxy Towers which overlook the neighborhood. The slip itself was close to the part of Edgewater once known as Shadyside.[12]

Since the 1980s, previous industrial and maritime uses of the area at the foot of the Palisades have given way to residential, institutional and recreational development, including the

Weehawken Port Imperial.[citation needed
]

In April 2011,

North Bergen agreed to jointly build a park south of Palisades Medical Center, which would include a waterfront promenade.[14] The Hudson River Waterfront Walkway is an esplanade along the water's edge from Bayonne to Fort Lee.[15]
