Fort Lee

Town in Bergen County, northeast New Jersey; population (1990) 32,000. It is situated on the Palisades of the Hudson River, and is connected to New York City by the George Washington Bridge. It is a flourishing commercial hub, with American and international businesses occupying numerous office buildings. It also has many one-family homes, apartment buildings, and high-rise condominiums, and some light industry.

Settled c. 1700, it was the site of a Revolutionary fort defending the Hudson and West Point and was abandoned after the fall of Fort Washington on the opposite shore in 1776. Fort Lee was an early-20th-century centre of the motion picture industry; film is still processed here.
