The New
York- New Jersey Port. Throughout the 19th century,
New York and New Jersey waged many disputes over
their valuable, shared harbor and waterways. A
dispute over the boundary line through the harbor
and the Hudson River - settled by the Treaty of 1834
- once led state police to exchange shots in the
middle of the river. The impasse eased when the two
states agreed that the port area was, in effect, one
community and that conflict squandered the port's
potential. The states sought a governmental body to
oversee port affairs and found a model in the Port
of London, administered by what was then the only
public authority in the world.
On April 30, 1921, The Port of New York Authority
was established to administer the common harbor
interests of New York and New Jersey. The first of
its kind in the Western Hemisphere, the organization
was created under a clause of the Constitution
permitting Compacts between states, with
Congressional consent. An area of jurisdiction
called the "Port District," a bistate region of
about 1,500 square miles centered on the Statue of
Liberty, was established. In 1972, the
organization's name was changed to The Port
Authority of New York and New Jersey to more
accurately identify our role as a bistate agency. |
