 A similar street, Mountain Road, is a single hairpin between Jersey City Heights and Hoboken.In 1854, Nicholas Goelz and Peter Melcher changed the starting point of their stage coaches from West Hoboken, to the new settlement of Union Hill, north of West Hoboken, in order to meet the demand created by that new settlement, and used the Hackensack Plank Road as the route to the Hoboken ferry.Crossing the Bergen line at the Fairview Cemetery, the road becomes County Route S124 and is named Broad Avenue.
