Union-City
is located in Hudson County in the Gateway Region of northeastern New Jersey, just north of Jersey City. It is situated across the Hudson River from Manhattan, at the western end of the Lincoln Tunnel. As of the 2000 census, the population of the town was 67,088 residents. This region is well known for being home to Ellis Island and Liberty State Park, which overlooks the Statue of Liberty. Other highlights of the Gateway Region include the Zimmerli Art Museum in New Brunswick, the Newark Museum, Tenafly's African Art Museum, the cherry blossoms of Branch Brook Park, the Great Falls of Paterson and the Presby Memorial Iris Gardens in Upper Montclair. The Gateway Region also offers many unique shopping opportunities, from traditional downtown shopping districts to modern malls and outlets. For culture, enjoy an evening at Millburn's renowned Paper Mill Playhouse, the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark or Englewood's John Harms Center. Union City is at the heart of it all, a historic and bustling region that is represented by a myriad of cultures in the museums, arts, shops and restaurants of the area's towns and cities.

Union City Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
Central New Jersey has a humid continental climate. Hot, humid summers and cold winters are the norm. The northern edge of this central weather zone is often the boundary between freezing and non-freezing precipitation during wintertime. In summer, it's the boundary between very humid and comfortable conditions. Spring is mild, but erratic. Autumn is sunny with mild days and cool nights. Average snowfall in central New Jersey is 15-30 inches. An interesting note: the concentration of buildings, paved surfaces, asphalt and concrete in the cities serve to retain more heat, and thus affect local temperatures. This phenomenon is often referred to as a "heat island".
