From Wikipedia:
Perth Amboy is a city in Middlesex County, New Jersey. Perth Amboy is part of the New York metropolitan area. As of the 2020 U.S. census, the city's population was 55,436. Perth Amboy has a Hispanic majority population. In the 2010 census, the Hispanic population made up 78.1% of the population, the second-highest in the state, behind Union City at 84.7%. Perth Amboy is known as the "City by the Bay", referring to its location adjoining Raritan Bay.
The earliest residents of the area were the Lenape Native Americans, who called the point on which the city lies "Ompoge". Perth Amboy was settled in 1683 by Scottish colonists and was called "New Perth" after James Drummond, 4th Earl of Perth; the native name was eventually corrupted and the two names were merged. Perth Amboy was formed by Royal charter in 1718, and the New Jersey Legislature reaffirmed its status in 1784, after independence. The city was a capital of the Province of New Jersey from 1686 to 1776. During the mid-1800s, the Industrial Revolution and immigration grew the city, developing a variety of neighborhoods which residents from a diverse range of ethnicities lived in. The city developed into a resort town for the Raritan Bayshore near it, but the city has grown in other industries since its redevelopment starting in the 1990s.
Perth Amboy borders the Arthur Kill and features a historic waterfront. The Perth Amboy Ferry Slip was once an important ferry slip on the route south from New York City; it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The Raritan Yacht Club, one of the oldest yacht clubs in the United States, is located in the city. Perth Amboy is connected to the Staten Island borough of New York City via the Outerbridge Crossing.
Perth Amboy.....I remember as a public school kid my Dad giving me $3.00 to take the 46 bus from Carteret to go to Sears Roebuck on Hobart St. (the 1960's)....and then I'd walk down Smith St towards the ferry to grab a couple of Coney Island chili dogs and then grab the bus back to Carteret (with the tool I picked up for Dad). I actually rode the old ferry to Tottenville several times. The boat was named the Orion. I have a neat picture of it that I took in the 1960's.
My first town in USA! lived there went to middle and high school got my drivers licence became US citizen lol memories forever 1972 to 1985!!!
Perth Amboy is a wonderful city in New Jersey. Nice popularity in visitors
Jon Bon Jovi was born there
Vida Guerra(curvy model) was raised there after moving from Cuba
So many memories. From 2 to 5 yrs old, in the early 80s I lived on Smith st, gray building on the right 0:16. 😢 bitter sweet.
I haven’t been in Amboy in 30 years. Great video. My dad owned Sasala’s Tavern on State and DeKalb Avenue I think it became The Latin Love Lounge. I played football with the Taylor brothers 69-73. Thanks

Is it true that you can't pump your own gas in N.J?
Yes it is.
One of the many cultural shocks traveling to New Jersey for the first time was the attendant telling me she would pump my gas 😂
@@MileageMikeTravels One of many….😂😂😂 I always use two criteria to judge where NJ changes - NASCAR and Country music. If there are people with numbers on their shirts or a place is playing country music - I have left civilization as I know it 😂😂
For some reason yes

My husband is Rey Eduardo, aka Boulevard. I met him in Perth Amboy back in ‘92 and we’ve been together since. We ended up moving across the bridge to Sayreville, and then to the Morgan section by the Waterfront. I remember a lot of the things you mentioned, plus the roller skating dude, the old lady who would draw and sell her pictures, playing pool in Margarita’s Lounge, the parties, and how somehow everyone knows everyone else through work, school, or relatives. It’s a city, no doubt, but people do look out for each other. I miss it and would move back.
@@mycinnamongirl id move back but like u said things have changed it will always be Amboy though
