HARRISON , a town of Hudson county, New
Jersey
 , U.S.A.,, on the Passaic river, opposite Newark (with which it is connected by bridges and electric railways), and 7 M. W. of
Jersey
  City. Pop. (1890) 8338; (1900) 10,596, of whom 3633 were foreign-born; (1910 census) 14,498. It is served by the
Pennsylvania
 , the Erie, and the
Delaware
 , Lackawanna & Western railways. Harrison was chosen as the eastern terminal of the
Pennsylvania
  railroad for steam locomotive service, transportation thence to New
York
  being by electric power through the railway's Hudson river tunnels. The town has an extensive river-front, along which are many of its manufactories; among their products are steam-pumps, steel, iron, machinery, roller bearings,
brass tubing, iron and brass castings, marine engines, hoisting engines, metal novelties, dry batteries, electric lamps, concrete blocks,
cotton
 
thread
 , wire cloth, leather, trunks, beer, barrels, lumber, inks and cutlery. The factory product in 1905 was valued at $8,408,924. The town is governed by a mayor and a common council. Harrison was settled toward the close of the 17th century, and for many years constituted the S. portion of the township of Lodi. In 1840, however, it was set off from Lodi and named in honour of President William Henry Harrison, and in 1873 it was incorporated. Harrison originally included what is now the town of Kearny (q.v.).
