Abstract High redshift radio galaxies (z > 1) are unique spatially extended probes of the galactic environment at the earliest observed epochs. Recent discoveries have unleashed a host of questions about their nature. Many new objects are being found, and their unusual properties are being uncovered. They generally exhibit the “alignment effect” wherein their highly elongated lumpy morphologies are lined up along the axes of their powerful radio sources. Evidence for both large star formation rates and scattered quasar light are found in the aligned continuum.
