More about Bayonne Bayonne is a city located in Hudson County, New Jersey. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 61,842. The City of Bayonne is governed under the Faulkner Act (Mayor-Council) system of municipal government. According to tradition, the city derived its name from Bayonne in France. It is said that French Huguenots settled there some time before New Amsterdam was founded. However, there are no historical records to prove this; the more likely story is that, when the land was purchased for real estate speculation, they called it Bayonne because it is on the shores of two bays, Newark and New York, hence Bay-on, or "on the Bays." Bayonne is connected to Staten Island by the Bayonne Bridge. The current mayor of Bayonne is Joseph V. Doria, Jr., who is also New Jersey State Senator for the 31st District. Dorias first term started in June 1998 and ended in June 2002. His second term began in June 2002 and will end in June 2006, if he decides not to run for re-election.
