It is located adjacent to the Hub in the Jackson Hill neighborhood of Jersey City, New Jersey. HistoryThe original cut of the Newark and New York Railroad Branch of Central Railroad of New Jersey excavated through Bergen Hill in 1869 with service running until 1946. The unrenovated former CNJ train station was still standing as recently as the Autumn of 2011,[4][5] but has since been demolished. The new station was raised to a level crossing. The station opened on April 22, 2000. In early 2019, it was announced that the West Side Avenue, Martin Luther King Drive, and Garfield Avenue stations on the West Side Branch would close for nine months starting in June 2019 for repairs to a sewer line running along he right-of-way. During that time, replacement service would be provided by NJ Transit shuttle buses.[6][7] Station layout
The station contains a memorial to slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. at its entrance.[8] and other related public art.[9] VicinityMartin Luther King Drive was once called Jackson Avenue, and until 1947 Public Service Railway's # 7 Jackson streetcar line ran along it. A small block called Jackson still exists that was not included in a realignment.[10] It was later named in honor of the slain civil right leader Martin Luther King, Jr., who had twice spoken in the city.[11] The drive has been the heart of the African American community in Jersey City for decades, and has sometimes been called "The Hill",[12][13][14] though the area is not within the state designated Bergen Hill Historic District. The 100th affiliate of the National Urban League is located on MLK Drive.,[15][16] which is one of the city's shopping districts.[17] The Cunningham Branch of the Jersey City Public Library, the city's newest named for former mayor Glenn Dale Cunningham, is located on MLK Drive.[18] Lincoln High School and St. Patrick's Parish and Buildings, listed on National Register of Historic Places is nearby at Grand Street and Bramhall Avenue.
