Bergen Hill is about 19 kilometers (12 miles) long and 1.6 kilometers (1 mile) wide, comprising a range of bluffs of Triassic diabase. It commences at Bergen Point and runs behind Jersey City and Hoboken to a point in Weehawken about opposite Thirty-fifth Street in New York City. Here it comes close to the Hudson River and continues north for some 29 kilometers (18 miles) to Piermont, being known as the Palisades.
Bergen Hill is the name used for lower Hudson Palisades where they emerge in Jersey City, New Jersey and are furthur inland than King's Bluff, the promontory in Weehawken where the cliffs along the Hudson River begin. Locally the The Divided Highway, connecting the Pulaski Skyway to the Holland Tunnel is considered its northern border (and Jersey City Heights and Weehawken Heights be atop the Palisades proper), though with transportation infrastructure and mineralogy the term is used more widely.
This list runs from south to north. The south end of the Palisades is subjective. Most rail infrastructure makes use of the term Bergen Hill.
