FORT LEE, a borough of Bergen county, New Jersey, U.S.A., on the Hudson river, opposite the northern part of New York city. It is served by electric trolleys and motor-coach lines and by ferry to New York, and is the New Jersey approach to the suspension bridge across the Hudson on which work was begun in 1928. The population was 5,761 in 192o, and was 8,759 in 1930 by the Federal census. It is a residential suburb, lying mainly along the top of the Palisades. To the north is the Interstate Palisades park. Early in the Revolution the Americans built a stronghold here, at first called Fort Constitution but later renamed after Gen. Charles Lee. From Sept. 15 to Nov. 20, 1776, it was held by Gen. Nathanael Greene with 3,500 men, but on the capture of Ft. Washington and the approach of Lord Cornwallis with 5,000 men it was necessary for him to abandon the post and join Wash ington in the retreat across the Jerseys. An unsuccessful attempt to recapture the fort was made by Gen. Anthony Wayne in 1780. In 1908 a monument was erected on the site. The borough was incorporated in 1904.
