Garfield Avenue is a station on the Hudson–Bergen Light Rail (HBLR) located at Union Street CR 610 in the Claremont Section of Jersey City, New Jersey. The station opened on April 22, 2000. It is at the eastern end of a railroad cut originally excavated in Bergen Hill in 1869 for the Central Railroad of New Jersey Newark and New York Railroad Branch. Garfield Avenue, presumably named for assassinated president James A. Garfield, was once part of Bergen Point Plank Road, which itself had once been a major colonial post road. A decorative theme for the station is two dimensional "cut-outs" of adults ad children, some of whom are playing.
