The NYPOE was the largest and in many ways the prototype and archetype of "Port of Embarkation (United States Army)" so a good bit of general information here is appropriate. Some general information I am adding now may migrate to a general article on the eight WW II ports of embarkation with links to the individual ports. World War I POEs are within the WW II ports, i.e., no WW I port was not a WW II POE. Intent now is to cover fact an Army POE was anything but a random collection of port facilities. They were large operations with control over vast areas and huge troop movements. For example, the actual movement of an Army division from some inland post to the port was under port, not post control and the port's reach extended at sea to the port of disembarkation or landing beach.

From the Port of New York and New Jersey article:
Encompassing an area within an approximate 25-mile (40 km) radius of the Statue of Liberty National Monument, the port district comprises all or part of seventeen counties in the region. The ten that are completely within the district are Hudson, Bergen, Essex, Union (in New Jersey), Westchester (in New York), and the five boroughs of New York City, which are coterminous with the counties of New York, Bronx, Kings, Queens, and Richmond. Abutting sections of Passaic, Middlesex, Monmouth, Morris, and Somerset in New Jersey, and Nassau and Rockland in New York are also within the district. (Camp Kimer falls within it, by the way, though that is not that important) This reference describes in detail the bounds of the port district which is not that modern, actually 94 years old.
