Chapel Hill Rear Range Light

The Chapel Hill Rear Range Light is a lighthouse located off of Middletown Township in Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States, which functioned as the rear light of the now-discontinued Chapel Hill Range. History This light was one of three identical lighthouses built along the New York harbor approaches in the 1850s (the others being the New Dorp Light and the Point Comfort Light). It worked in concert with the Conover Beacon to mark the Chapel Hill Channel, which runs north–south between the main Ambrose Channel and the secondary channel into Raritan Bay. The light took its name from a Baptist church built in 1809. In 1957, this light was discontinued and replaced by a steel tower much closer to the front light (200 ft, as opposed to 1.5 mi (2.4 km) for the original lights). The old house was auctioned off in 1959 and sold to a New York businessman who intended it as a present for his amateur astronomer son. The building has since had several owners, who put an addition on the east end, added dormers along the roof line, and added various decorative touches.

USS New Jersey (BB-62)

Линкор «Нью-Джерси» (ББ-62) (англ. USS New Jersey (BB-62), «Большое Джей» (англ. Big J) или «Чёрный Дракон» (англ. Black Dragon)) — американский линкор типа «Айова». Построен на верфи в Филадельфии, США. Спущен на воду 7 декабря 1942 года. Участвовал в большем числе операций по сравнению с другими кораблями своего класса. Единственный линкор, использовавшийся в войне во Вьетнаме. По состоянию на март 2012 года, линкор «Нью-Джерси» находится на вечной стоянке в городе Камден, штат Нью-Джерси. Дискутируется возможность перемещения корабля-музея в Либерти Стэйт Парк. История службы На протяжении Второй Мировой войны участвовал в операциях у островов Гуам и Окинава, прикрывал авианосцы во время рейда к Маршалловым островам. Во время Корейской войны использовался в операциях вблизи северокорейского побережья. В середине пятидесятых был выведен в резерв, прозванный американскими моряками «нафталиновым флотом». В 1968 расконсервирован и направлен во Вьетнам для поддержки американских войск. На переходе, у Гавайских островов, обнаружен советской ракетной подводной лодкой К-57, которая некоторое время шла под днищем линкора, а затем отработала по нему условную атаку. Во Вьетнаме линкор отличился в ночь на 22 февраля 1969 года, отбивая артиллерийским огнём атаку войск Вьетконга на пост морской пехоты США «Оушевью» — спаренные артиллерийские установки калибра 127 мм расстреляли 1710 снарядов и вынудили противника к отходу. Повторная консервация состоялась в 1969 году. Был модернизирован и снова введён в состав флота в начале 80-х по так называемой «программе 600 кораблей». Принимал участие в гражданской войне в Ливане в 1983 году. Окончательно выведен из состава флота в 1991 году после, в общей сложности, 21 года активной службы. Имеет 19 наград за участие в операциях во время Второй мировой войны, войны в Корее, войны во Вьетнаме, гражданской войны в Ливане, войны в Заливе. Статус музея приобрел 15 октября 2001 г.

USS New Jersey (BB-62)

USS New Jersey (BB-62) är ett slagskepp av Iowa-klass som tjänstgjorde i USA:s flotta under såväl andra världskriget, Koreakriget och Vietnamkriget. Bakgrund Fartyget är det andra fartyget i amerikanska flottan som fått namn efter delstaten New Jersey och byggdes på örlogsvarvet i Philadelphia. Under sitt första år i aktiv tjänst under andra världskriget tjänstgjorde New Jersey i Atlanten för att under 1944 förflyttas till Stilla havet. Likt de andra systerfartygen återaktiverades New Jersey under 1980-talet och var det första av slagskeppen i Iowa-klassen som moderniserades och försågs med kryssningsrobotar av typ Tomahawk, som ett led i marinminister John Lehmans målsättning om ett örlogsflotta på 600 fartyg för att möta hotet från Sovjetunionen. Efter bilbomben mot förläggningen med USA:s marinkårssoldater i Libanon 23 oktober 1983, avfyrades projektiler från New Jerseys 16-tumskanoner i början av december samma år mot mål kring Beirut som vedergällning. New Jersey tog slutligen ur tjänst 1991, efter totalt 21 års aktiv tjänst. Slagskeppet utmönstrades ur flottans register 1999 och ligger sedan 7 juli 2001 som museifartyg i Camden, New Jersey.

Cheesequake State Park

Cheesequake State Park is a 1,610-acre (2.52 mi2) state park located in Old Bridge, Middlesex County, New Jersey, in the United States. The New Jersey Legislature allocated $100,000 in 1937 to purchase property for the park. The state first acquired a 250-acre (100 ha) tract of farmland and a Civil War-era mansion from the Favier brothers in January 1938. Additional lands were acquired over the next two years, and the Civil Conservation Corps, part of the Works Progress Administration, helped develop the property. The park was opened in June 1940. It is operated and maintained by the New Jersey Division of Parks and Forestry and is part of the New Jersey Coastal Heritage Trail Route. The name Cheesequake has been variously described as deriving from the Lenape words Cheseh-oh-ke ("upland"), Chichequaas ("upland village"), or Chiskhakink ("at the land that has been cleared"). Geography, flora, and fauna The park's lowlands consist of freshwater and saltwater marsh and a tidal estuary near the mouth of Cheesequake Creek on the Raritan Bay. It also includes hills of Northeastern hardwood forest, open fields, and a white cedar swamp. It includes a small parcel of Atlantic coastal pine barrens, consisting of pine forest in sandy soil, an isolated section of the much larger New Jersey Pine Barrens. It also includes the 6-acre (24,000 m2) Hooks Creek Lake, a freshwater lake where recreational fishing features trout, largemouth bass, catfish, and sunfish. Crabbing is also available at the park. Facilities, activities, and trails The park includes an interpretive center and five marked trails for both hiking and mountain biking that run throughout the wooded hills and across long wooden bridges across marshland. The park has designated camping areas available by reservation. Swimming and boating are summertime activities, while sledding, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing are available in wintertime. The Garden State Parkway runs through the park near exit 120 but offers no direct access. A road runs underneath the parkway to connect the northern and southern sides of the park. Parts of the park, including a picnic area, are visible from the parkway. Aberdeen-Matawan station (New Jersey Transit) is located about two miles east of the park.

Chilton Memorial Hospital

Atlantic Health Chilton Medical Center is a non-profit acute care community hospital in the Pompton Plains section of Pequannock Township, New Jersey. Located at 97 West Parkway, it is the only hospital serving the Pequannock Township area. In 2021 it was given a grade A by the Leapfrog patient safety organization. History "Old Chilton" In 1947, Forrest S. Chilton Jr., MD and his wife, Elizabeth, a registered nurse, donated land located on Newark-Pompton Turnpike with the vision of building a hospital. At the time, Chilton was the only doctor in the area and was operating a maternity ward in his home's attic. During its infancy, Chilton obtained funding from his business associate Aniello Vitale, and raised additional capital from the community and patients by soliciting donations door to door, via a contribution jar in his office and contributing from his own income. In 1954, the facility opened with fifty beds, named in honor of his son, Forrest S. Chilton III, who died in World War II. In 1961, it was expanded to a 119-bed facility. Some people who remember or were born in the Newark-Pompton Turnpike building, which has since been turned into condominiums, affectionately refer to the original location by the nickname "The Old Chilton." New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter was born at "Old Chilton" on June 26, 1974.Clint Wiest of C.W.C was born at "old Chilton" on April 3.1967. Second facility On November 20, 1971 a second facility was dedicated on West Parkway, where Chilton Medical Center still operates today. Both buildings were used concurrently until 1984 The current facility on West Parkway houses 260 beds. Mobile Intensive Care Unit (MICU) Chilton Medical Center operates two advanced life support paramedic units and two basic life support ambulances. ALS 901 operates 24 hours a day while ALS 902 operates a 12-hour-a-day schedule (7a-7p). The ALS units operate out of two bases, one located on the hospital's property, the other in West Milford. BLS 931 operates from 6am- 6pm and BLS 932 operate from 7AM-7PM. Both BLS units are in service Monday through Friday and are stationed at the hospital. Chilton MICU's 200 + square miles of primary coverage represents the largest response area in the MICCOM consortium, with the department responding to over 5,000 calls per year for ALS. The BLS units respond to calls primarily for Pequannock Township and also provide mutual aid for surrounding communities of Lincoln Park, Pompton Lakes, Riverdale, Wanaque, Ringwood, West Milford, Kinnelon, Butler and Bloomingdale. As of January 1, 2014, Chilton's EMS services were transferred under the control of Atlantic Ambulance Corporation. References

Heights University Hospital

Heights University Hospital, formerly Christ Hospital, was a hospital in Jersey City, New Jersey. It was affiliated with Hoboken University Medical Center and the Bayonne Medical Center. It was one of the six hospitals in Hudson County, New Jersey operated by the for-profit organization Hudson Hospital Opco, known as Care Point Health. In May 2025, following the bankruptcy of CarePoint, the hospital became part of Hudson Regional Health. When HRH was not able to get sufficient funds for further operation, the hospital was closed down in March 2026, after 154 years. History Christ Hospital was founded in 1872 in Jersey City, New Jersey and was originally associated with the Episcopal Diocese of Newark. The Christ Hospital School of Nursing was established in 1890 and since 1999 has run a cooperative program with Hudson County Community College. In 2014 it merged with the Bayonne Medical Center nursing school. In 2011 it was announced that the hospital would be sold to Prime Healthcare Services. The proposed sale was the focus of significant community concern, generated competing offers, and Prime Healthcare's original offer was withdrawn on February 1, 2012. The hospital filed for bankruptcy proceedings in 2012, and was eventually awarded to what was deemed the highest bidder for $43.5 million. According to a study conducted by National Nurses United and released in January 2014, the hospital was the 9th most expensive in the state, charging 763% above costs. In November 2024, CarePoint Health filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, blaming high rising costs and lack of state funding from New Jersey. The company listed assets between $500,001 to $1 million, and liabilities of no more than $50,000. CarePoint plans to keep its hospitals operating as it invests $67 million in financing. In 2025, the hospital was renamed Heights University Hospital. In October 2025, Hudson Regional Health, CarePoint's successor, announced that the hospital would have to be closed unless sufficient state funding could be secured. When this did not come to pass, the operator decided to close the facility by February 28, 2026, except for the emergency room, which closed by March 14, 2026.
