Editing Perth Amboy, New Jersey (section)

===Southwestern section===
The southwestern section is a mainly working-class residential neighborhood with some light industry, once the site of [[Eagleswood Military Academy]]. The city's largest strip mall is located here. This neighborhood has a large and diversified Hispanic neighborhood with many [[Dominican American|Dominicans]], Puerto Ricans, and recently, South Americans. Much of the city's [[Mexican American|Mexican]] population also lives in this section. Previously, this section of Perth Amboy had a large Irish population and was once named "Dublin". Following the Irish came the Eastern Europeans, primarily Polish and Hungarian. Most of the housing consists of small one- or two-family houses. The main commercial strip is Smith Street, west of the [[NJ Transit]] train tracks.
