Populated place in Bergen and Hudson Counties, New Jersey, US From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shadyside is the southernmost neighborhood of Edgewater, New Jersey that overlaps the waterfront of neighboring North Bergen, New Jersey. It likely takes its name from the fact that its position on the west bank of the Hudson River is sometimes in the shadow of the Hudson Palisades. It lies north of the neighborhood Bulls Ferry, a major river crossing of the period.[citation needed] Shadyside was developed in the late 19th century as a manufacturing village,[1] and railroad terminal for New York, Susquehanna and Western Railway at the end of the Edgewater Tunnel, and site of a major explosion at a glucose plant in 1906.[2] North of this are the neighborhoods of Sunnyside, Undercliff, and Burdett's Landing (Edgewater Colony).[3] The Public Service Railway operated streetcar lines from the Edgewater Ferry Terminal.[citation needed]
