Croxton is an industrial neighborhood in Jersey City, New Jersey roughly bounded by Secaucus at Penhorn Creek, the Hackensack River and Marion to the south and Western Slope to the east. The area is informally named Croxton after Croxton Yard on the Conrail Freight Line.
Much of this neighbohood is filled with New Jersey Transit Commuter lines and freight lines. There are no passenger stations in this neighborhood, although Secaucus Junction is nearby on the other side of Penhorn Creek. The neighborhood is also home to the Bulk Mail Facility for New York and New Jersey. The area's only major road is County Road, which connects Western Slope with Secaucus. The name Croxton was given to the railroad yard after Philip Croxton , the traffic manager for P. Lorillard Tobacco Company[1]. The Lorillard Tobacco Company used to be located at 111 First Street in Jersey City in WALDO[2]. The former Lorillard site may now become several forty-story-plus towers on 111 and 110 First Street.
