Place description

It was in the 17th century that Hoboken came into being as a part of the New Netherland colony called Pavonia. Colonel John Stevens further developed the city from a resort to a residential area. Incorporated in 1855, Hoboken became a significant part of American Sport history when the game of baseball was recorded here for the first time. It has been a prominent port as it is located on the Hudson Waterfront and now is considered one of the best places to live in Hudson County.
