A great city along the Hudson River with a lot of character.

Etymology. The name for the city in New Jersey likely comes from the Lenape phrase "Hopoghan Hackingh", meaning "land of the tobacco pipe". Alternatively, from the Dutch Hoebuck, meaning "high bluff".

Hoboken, New Jersey is a relatively small town located on the Hudson River waterfront. Its proximity to Manhattan—along with its more affordable cost of living, has made it a popular place to live and work for decades. In recent years, however, more people have been flocking to Hoboken to escape the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple without being too far away from the action.

Hoboken is a New Jersey city on the Hudson River. Its former industrial port now features parks such as Pier A Park, with Manhattan skyline views. The Hudson River Waterfront Walkway links several green spaces. Global eateries, bistros and bars cluster on Washington Street and riverside Frank Sinatra Drive, named after the locally born singer. The Hoboken Historical Museum has local art and history exhibits.

It’s a little known fact, but Hoboken, the Mile Square City, was originally an island in the Hudson River. Of course, its eastern boundary was the Hudson River, but on its western side, the river ran into tidal lands, described before, that extended along the base of the cliffs of the Palisades. Named after his ship, Half Moon Bay, north of Hoboken was where Henry Hudson anchored his ship.
