And Fort Lee and pretty much all over NJ. The point was that the independent studios moved to Hollywood to put space between themselves and Edison's patent lawsuits.

Today Bayonne seems an unlikely setting for cowboys and Indians, surrounded as it is by urban dewellings, industries and the waters of both Newark and New York bays. In 1908, there were still two farms which formed a boundry between Bayonne and Jersey City. Both bays were less industrial and there were yacht clubs and summer resorts in Bayonne. Where the Palisades ended there was a clump of woodland which, for a few years, was peopled with adventuresome actors in greasepaint and chaps.
