Bordering the Arthur Kill waterway, Perth Amboy's scenic waterfront has been a major draw since the 1700's when it first served as the capital of the then-province of New Jersey. The Industrial Revolution of the 1800s led to an increase in local economic factors such as clay mining, and immigration helped yield a steady stream of new residents.
