Fort Lee, New Jersey is one of the most dynamic cities in the state. It is also one of the most important transportation and logistical points in the country.

The city has a long and storied history including its status as the birthplace of the American film industry in the early 20th century.

Perhaps the most important thing about Fort Lee is the George Washington Bridge that connects it to Upper Manhattan in New York City. This makes Fort Lee a hub or residence for those who work in the city. And it adds greatly to the economic dynamism and diversity of the Fort Lee itself.

Crossing the George Washington Bridge from Fort Lee takes resident to the heart of the NYC subway system, which then allows them to reach various points in the city.
