'''Marion''' is a [[Local government in New Jersey#Unincorporated communities|section]] of [[Jersey City, New Jersey|Jersey City]] in [[Hudson County, New Jersey|Hudson County]], [[New Jersey]], United States.<ref>[http://www.state.nj.us/infobank/localnames.txt Locality Search], State of New Jersey. Accessed February 7, 2015.</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.destinationjerseycity.com/districts.php |title=Jersey City's Districts |access-date=2009-04-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080820073921/http://destinationjerseycity.com/districts.php |archive-date=2008-08-20 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

==History==
The Marion Section was laid out in the 1870s and was developed in the early 20th century. The name is speculated to have come from either the old Marion Hotel or the founders of a watch company located near the city line. [[Marion Junction (New Jersey)|Marion Junction]], an important [[rail junction]] in the 19th century is nearby. Originally concentrated with families of Italian ancestry, Marion was planned as a blue- collar residential community to work at [[Lorillard Tobacco Company]], [[American Can Company]], or nearby [[railroad yard]]s.

==Description==
[[File:Marion Section Jersey City Broadway side street.jpg|thumb|left]]
To the west of [[Journal Square]] and north of [[Holy Name Cemetery, Jersey City|Holy Name Cemetery]] on the [[West Side, Jersey City|West Side]], the Marion's two distinct neighborhoods are separated by [[PATH (rail system)|PATH]] train tracks. It borders other districts of [[Riverbend, Hudson County|Riverbend]], [[Croxton, Jersey City|Croxton]] and the [[West Side, Jersey City|West Side]], and is sometimes considered to include the area along the [[Hackensack Riverfront]], [[Tonnele Circle]], and neighborhood overlapping [[India Square]]. Marion is mostly a low-rise residential district that is home to several new housing developments, light manufacturing, restaurants, LaPointe Park and the Marion Branch Public Library. Broadway, [[U.S. Route 1/9]], Sip Avenue and [[West Side, Jersey City|West Side Avenue]] are the main streets running through the neighborhood. The 1940 Marion Gardens housing project creates the western residential border for the section.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.jcha-gov.us/sites/MarionGardens.aspx |title=Marion Gardens |access-date=2010-02-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091210063034/http://www.jcha-gov.us/sites/MarionGardens.aspx |archive-date=2009-12-10 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

Although the PATH train runs through the district, there is no PATH station there.<ref name="nj.com" /> Former mayor, [[Jerramiah Healy]] had requested that a PATH stop be built at Broadway and West Side Avenue,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://hudsoncity.net/tubes/new-jc-station.html|title=Newe PATH Station in Jersey City Marion: PATH Trains Hudson Tubes Hudson& Manhattan RR|access-date=8 May 2016}}</ref> supplanting the nearest station at [[Journal Square Transportation Center|Journal Square]]. There are a growing number of condos and other housing units being built in the Marion neighborhood and city officials feel a stop on the PATH system will be necessary to unclog the city streets and lessen the commute for residents. Officials feel a station would help to bolster development in the neighborhood, which has fewer cultural attractions than many Jersey City neighborhoods and is without a school.<ref>[http://hudsoncity.net/tubes/new-jc-station.html Marion PATH Station?], ''[[Jersey Journal]]'', May 15, 2006</ref> The city entered into an agreement in 2018 that the agency would conduct a [[feasibility study]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Fry|first=Chris|date=2018-11-20|title=Port Authority Could Soon Study Feasibility of Marion PATH Station in Jersey City|url=https://jerseydigs.com/port-authority-could-soon-study-marion-path-station-feasibility-jersey-city/|access-date=2021-05-27|website=Jersey Digs|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Journal|first=Terrence T.

The area north of the tracks near the foot of on [[Newark Plank Road|Newark Avenue]] and east of [[Marion Junction (New Jersey)|Marion Junction]] is surrounded by manufacturing and warehouse buildings, a few of which have received [[New Jersey Register of Historic Places]] designation.
