About Port Reading, New Jersey
Port Reading exhales a salty, industrial air, a tangible presence that clings to the low-slung buildings and the weathered pilings along its waterfront. It lies 1.4 miles east-north-east of Woodbridge, NJ (from Woodbridge, NJ: bearing 67°T), and is situated 6.7 miles south-south-east of Union County. The land here is flat, a yielding expanse of marsh and tidal flats that whispers of the constant ebb and flow of the Arthur Kill. Sunlight, when it breaks through the often-grey sky, paints a pale, diffused glow on the muted greens of the Spartina grass and the dull sheen of the oil storage tanks. The scent of brine mingles with the fainter, more metallic tang of industry, a characteristic perfume of this stretch of the New Jersey coastline. The history of Port Reading is intrinsically tied to the movement of goods and the relentless march of industry. Once a vital hub for shipping and the refining of petroleum, its docks once groaned under the weight of tankers and barges, a testament to a bygone era of robust commerce. Though the landscape still bears the marks of this industrial past, with its sprawling tank farms and the skeletal remains of older structures, a new rhythm has begun to emerge. The waters of the Arthur Kill, though still carrying their industrial echoes, now also attract recreational boaters, their wakes rippling across the placid surface as the sun dips low, casting long shadows that soften the harsh industrial lines.
