South Kearny, NJ Weather Forecast and Current Conditions

South Kearny, also known as Kearny Point, is an industrial district and distinct area of the western part of Hudson County, New Jersey at the northern end of Newark Bay in the town of Kearny, New Jersey. It is on the larger peninsula once called New Barbadoes Neck, which also include the other Kearny districts of the Uplands (a part of which is called Arlington) and the Kearny Meadows. It has been known as Kearny Point and, along Droyer's Point in Jersey City, marks the mouth of the Hackensack River to the east. The Passaic River flows along its western border opposite a similarly industrial portion of the Ironbound district of Newark. Most of the point is part of Foreign-Trade Zone 49. The Newark and New York Railroad Bridge, part of Central Railroad of New Jersey, The Newark Plank Road, and the Morris Canal all crossed the point running parallel to each other. Currently, both the Lincoln Highway and The Pulaski Skyway traverse South Kearny, a ramp of the latter built specifically to spur industrial development. Among the many facilities that are located there are the Hudson County Correctional Facility and River Terminal, a massive distribution warehouse that includes the former site of a Western Electric's Kearny Works manufacturing plant and the Kearny Yard of Federal Shipbuilding and Drydock Company, now also known as Kearny Point. Since the 2010s the area has been undergoing a transformation from industrial and distribution functions repurposed spaces. Three film/television studios opened on Kearny Point in the 2000s: Palisades Stages, Mile End Studios and 10 Basin Studios. As of late 2025, Kearny Point's three studios comprise the single largest film and TV stage production location in the State of New Jersey with over 220,000 square feet of soundstage, set shop and storage, dressing, and pre and post-production spaces. Road Movie was filmed there in 1974.
