Secaucus is a town in Hudson County in northeast New Jersey's Meadowlands. As of the 2010 census, the population was 16,264. The New Jersey Meadowlands, also known as Hackensack Meadowlands after the river flowing through it, is a large ecosystem of wetlands in northeast New Jersey. The Meadowlands stretch along the terminus of the Hackensack and Passaic Rivers as they flow into Newark Bay. The Meadowlands are approximately 8,400 acres of open, undeveloped lands, as well as some developed portions that were previously parts of the natural wetlands. These areas include the towns of Kearny, Jersey City, North Arlington, Lyndhurst, Rutherford, East Rutherford, Carlstadt, North Bergen, Moonachie, Ridgefield and Secaucus. Of these, Secaucus is the most suburban, although it does contain some light industry. Secaucus is located just five miles from Times Square, and it's amazing that such a small community with a home-town feeling can be only 20 minutes via express bus from one of the largest cities in the world. It's a pretty town with several hotels and motels, which makes it very convenient for those visiting The Big Apple. Harmon Meadow, on the east side of Secaucus, has a town- square atmosphere with many shops and restaurants, a multiplex cinema and the Meadowlands Exposition Center. For outdoor recreation, there's a swim center and an ice rink in the wintertime. There are also several parks in town; Snipes Beach Park, Schmidts Woods, the Duck Pond and Mill Creek Marsh. Things to do include hiking, canoeing, kayaking and birding.

Secaucus Weather & Climate

Manhattan and the surrounding area have four seasons of changeable weather. Summers are often hot and muggy and last until September. Temperatures usually soar to near 100 degrees F. for a week to ten days in mid-July to mid-August. Another uncomfortable time to visit New York City is during January and February when temps are often in the 20s and the concrete canyons of the city can turn into wind tunnels. Otherwise, the rest of the year the weather is comfortable, with March usually being the rainiest month. May offers great weather - just warm enough for walking around but cool enough to remain comfortable. Autumn has more sunshine than spring, although both are clear and bright. New York City is magical at Christmas time and the changing leaves of fall makes it a beautiful time to visit the area.
