Abstract
Description
Castle Point is the highest point in Hoboken. The name is a corruption of "Castille Point", due to its supposed resemblance to the Castilian coast in Spain.
To early navigators, the high serpentine crag jutting over the river reminded them of a miniature Rock of Gibraltar. It was acquired by Stevens Institute of Technology in 1910 and served as an administrative and residential building until 1959.
Castle Point is still part of the Stevens campus. On the side of Castle Point is historic Sybil's Cave, which is now bricked up.
