perth amboy is connected to Staten Island by the Outerbridge crossing bridge.It has the historic waterfront abounding victorians with some city landmarks including St. Peter's Espiscopal Church( built in 1722), The Proprietary House which was once the home of the royal governor( built in 1764)and the city marina.The quaint downtown is lined with wide red brick sidewalks,trees,small-chain stores and some restaurants topped by low-rises.This urban insulator is a mainly unskilled community.70% of the population is Hispanic with high percantages of Puerto Ricans,Dominicans and Mexicans.As a result there are many Dominican "bodegas"{hispanic grocery stores),as well as Puerto Rican and Mexican stores and restaurants.Along with the widespread use of the Spanish language. Most people live in row houses mainly old and small victorian row houses.

Perth Amboy is a basically hispanic town where people are really close and a tight-nit community. Its located right in between Woodbrigde and Hopelawn. Everyone is really united and work together well. Being born and raised there has helped me to learn to be independent and if you havent lived there then dont criticize; because you dont know until you truly experience it for yourself.
Perth Amboy is:
- amazing waterfront
- great hispanic food everywhere
- loving people & accepting of others
- great school spirit
- truly not given enough credit
- dont ever call it a whore filled town (maybe you just ran into the wrong bitch)

all girl school that is worse than hell. Uniforms are made for nuns and cost more than the school fees. Most girls become fake ass fags once year 7 starts and the school doesn’t do shit to help. Think they are the best school and don’t talk to guys. The school is a crackhouse😘
Perth college girl: omg my dad just brought me the iPhone X and I’m going to figi. Your so poor

Perth Amboy is the ghetto or Barrio City of Middlesex County. It is an overwhelmingly working class and Hispanic small town. It's part of the rust belt and the factories have left the waters polluted. Until the 19oos the water was suitable for fishing. However, the waterfront is being redeveloped. It also features a nice view, a small marina, and history.
