North Arlington Jewish Cemetery is a cemetery dating to the turn of the 19th century,[1] and located in North Arlington, New Jersey, along Belleville Turnpike (New Jersey Route 7).[2] It is situated on a roughly triangular four-acre piece of land,[3][4] between the gritty industrial park of Porete Avenue and the much larger Arlington Memorial Park grounds on the other side of the Route 7. Porete Ave, which borders the Kearny landfill and the New Jersey Meadowlands, surrounds most of the cemetery. At the time the cemetery was formed, however, it was situated among woods and farmland.[5]
The exclusively Jewish cemetery consists of 12 to 21 divisions,[1][2][6] each allocated to a Jewish society or synagogue, except for one area owned by Hudson County, which it uses as potter's field for its Jewish war veterans.[2]
