Bayonne (/beɪˈ(j)oʊn/ bay-(Y)OHN)[21][22][23][24][25] is a city in Hudson County in the U.S. state of New Jersey. Located in the Gateway Region, Bayonne is situated on a peninsula between Newark Bay to the west, the Kill Van Kull to the south, and New York Bay to the east. As of the 2020 United States census, the city was the state's 15th-most-populous municipality, surpassing 2010 #15 Passaic,[26] with a population of 71,686,[10][11] an increase of 8,662 (+13.7%) from the 2010 census count of 63,024,[27][28] which in turn reflected an increase of 1,182 (+1.9%) from the 61,842 counted in the 2000 census.[29] The Census Bureau's Population Estimates Program calculated a population of 70,300 for 2023,[12] making it the 541st-most populous municipality in the nation.[13]

Bayonne was originally formed as a township on April 1, 1861, from portions of Bergen Township. Bayonne was reincorporated as a city by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 10, 1869,[30] replacing Bayonne Township, subject to the results of a referendum held nine days later.[31] At the time it was formed, Bayonne included the communities of Bergen Point, Constable Hook, Centreville, Pamrapo and Saltersville.[32]

While somewhat diminished, traditional manufacturing, distribution, and maritime activities remain a driving force of the economy of the city. A portion of the Port of New York and New Jersey is located there, as is the Cape Liberty Cruise Port.
