City name
The name Hawken was given to Colonel John Stevens when he bought a lot of land throughout the region.
The Lenape (later called the Delaware Indians) had collected soapstones here and carved out a pipe, so the area was called the "Tobacco Pipe Land" and it is believed that the word "Hopogan Hacking" was corrupted.
The first Europeans to live in this area are Dutch pioneers who moved to New Nederlanders and may have shortened the language of the Lenape. However, there is no documented record to confirm that. It cannot be confirmed, but there is a theory that it was named after the town of Flanders, Hooghe Buchen or Hoge Buken (en), which was annexed to Antwerp, Belgium in 1983. This name was derived from the medieval Dutch language and means 'high beech.' There is also a theory that it was named after the Van Hoboken family, who was the landlord of Rotterdam in the 17th century Netherlands. Rotterdam has a square with the name of the family. There is a Dutch dialect called Jersey Ducci, which was spoken in northern New Jersey in the 18th and 19th centuries, based on the Zeland and Flemish languages, in English and probably Lenape, and it is not clear what the area was called in Jersey Ducci.
Like the Wheehorn to the north, the Commipe to the south, and the Harrisimas, the Hoboken has changed in the language of the times. The old Dutch Hoeback, which means a high cliff and could indicate a castle point, was used in the colonial period and was later referred to as "Hobuck" in English.
The unofficial nickname of Hawken is "Mile Square City," but it is two square miles, if you include the part of the Hudson River below the surface. From the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, the German-speaking people of both population and culture became overwhelming and sometimes called 'Little Bremen.' Many of them are buried in the Hawken cemetery in North Bargain.
History
early and colonial periods
The Hawken was originally an island, the Hudson River in the east, and the tideland in the west, beneath the New Jersey Precipice. where the Lenape used to be a camp in the seasons. It is believed that the Renape had lived over 2,800 years on the land between the Hudson and the Delaware. The first European to claim the territorial rights of the region was Henry Hudson, an Englishman, who sailed the region for the Dutch East India Company. Hudson brought the Have Meen (Half Moon) over to Wiehoken Cove on October 2, 1609. The United New Netherlands Company was established to manage the new area and became a Dutch colony in June 1623. In 1630, Michael POW, the mayor of Amsterdam and the manager of the Dutch West India Company, obtained a patent for the owner of the west bank of a river called North River on the condition that he would build more than 50 reclaimed villages within four years. Three of the Renape sold land (some in Jersey City) that would be Hawken in exchange for 80 Fasom (146 meters) shell balls, 20 Fasom (37 meters) cloth, 12 Hall of Medicine, six guns, two blankets, a double kettle, and half-barrel beer. These transactions are dated from July 12 to November 22, 1630, and it is thought that these transactions were due to the difference of the means of transportation in this area at that time. Pau (Latin name: Pavonia) was unable to create a reclaimed land, so in 1633 he bought the land back to his company. Later, Hendrick van Volst acquired it, and lent a part to Yert van Putten, the farmer. In 1643, Van Putten built the first brewery in his house and North America to the north of the place called Castle Point. In a series of Indian and Dutch raids and their retaliation, Van Puten was killed, his house was destroyed, and all the residents of Pavonia (the name of the region at that time) were ordered back to New Amsterdam. The relationship with the Renape family became awkward, and the isolated island had a distance from New Amsterdam, so no more residents went there. In 1664, Britain occupied New Amsterdam with little resistance, and in 1674, the area became a part of the Eastern Jersey colony. This colony was divided into four regions in 1675, and Hoboken became a part of Bergen County, which became a part of Hudson County when Hudson County was established on February 22, 1840. English-speaking people from New England, along with the Dutch, came to the area in rapid succession, but the number of people hardly increased and they remained on the farm. This area was eventually owned by William Beird. Bayard initially supported the independence of the United States, but when New York City fell into the British army, he switched to the royalist party, including the west bank of the river, which was renamed the Hudson River in 1776. At the end of the American Revolution, the land of Beird was confiscated by the New Jersey Revolutionary Government. In 1784, the land, which was considered to be 'the Horbach Farm of William Beard', was put up for auction and fell to Colonel John Stevens with 18,360 pounds of English currency.
19th century

In the early 1800s, Colonel John Stevens developed a waterfront as a resort for Manhattan residents, and this became a source of earnings. The money may have been used by Stevens to test many mechanical inventions. On Oct. 11, 1811, Stevens started delivering the first steamboat in the world between Manhattan and Hoboken on the Juliana steamer. In 1825, Stevens designed and built a steam locomotive and a few passenger cars running on his own land. In 1832, he opened a cave in Sibiru, which featured the water of the spring, and in 1841, Edgar Allan POE wrote "The Mystery of Marie Roget" based on the incident that occurred at the place, which became a legend. In the late 1880s, it was found to be contaminated and closed, and in the 1930s, it was buried with concrete. In 1838, before Stevens' death, he founded Hoboken Land Improvement Company, which was run by his descendants in the middle and latter half of the 19th century. The company decided to lay out roads and blocks, built houses, and developed factory sites. In general, the house is built of stone brick with three or five stories, and it remains with the fifth-level block even today. The advantages of Hawken's port and industrial area have become apparent.
The town of Hoboken was separated from the North Bargain Town Ship and established as a Town Ship on April 9, 1849. As the population and number of jobs increased, residents began to feel the need for full-fledged enforcement of the municipal system, and on March 29, 1855, a referendum was held, and on the day before that, the New Jersey State Assembly law was ratified by the city, Hawken, was born. In the subsequent election, Cornirius V. Kliner became the first mayor. On March 15, 1859, the Wheehawk Town Ship was created from a part of Hoboken City and North Bargain Towns Ship.
In 1870, based on the posthumous gift of Edwin A. Stevens, Science Technology was established at Castle Point, which was the former place of the Stevens family. By the end of the 19th century, a large merchant ship company started to use the Hoboken Port to unload and unload the cargo, and the Delaware Rakawana and Western Railway (later, Elly Rakawana Railway) built a railway station 'Hoboken Station' (Hoboken Terminal, which is not called station, because it is a terminal station, but called terminal because it is a terminal station) on the water connecting the port. The majority of the 19th century was German immigrants, but the overwhelming majority in the city was during this period, and it was partly due to the fact that the port was at least a major berthing for the Hamburg-America route. In addition to the shipbuilding industry, which was a major industry, Coiffel and Esser, a drafter, set up a three-story factory in Teetjan and Lang Drydock (later Todd Shipyard) in 1884. At the turn of the 20th century, Hoboken-based public companies were Maxwell House of coffee, Lipton Tea of tea and Hostess of confectionery.
birthplace of baseball
The claim that Hoboken is the birthplace of baseball is based on the fact that in 1846, a match between the Niker Boxer Club (en) and New York Nine was held at Hoboken's Elisian Stadium (en) as the first competition against the club. The pavement, which resembles a diamond in baseball and a nameplate in Eleven Street and Washington Street, is a memory of the event.
In 1845, the Nickerbocker Club established by Alexander Cartwright was based in New York, but because Manhattan did not have a suitable ground, they started using the Elisian Stadium. The players included Harry Wright and George Wright, the brothers of St. George's Cricket Club (en) and Henry Chadwick, the British-born journalist who created the word "American entertainment" (meaning baseball).
By the 1850s, members of the Manhattan-based National Baseball Players Association (NBA) had been based in the Elisian Baseball Stadium, while St. George's St. George's continued holding international games in Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In 1859, the professional cricket team, Jack Pars Earl England Eleven, played a game against the United States XXII at Hawken and won a game with him. Sam Wright and his sons, Harry and George, are the losing players of the United States XXII, and they are encouraged to raise baseball to local players against their will. Henry Chadwick drew the conclusion that amateur American players don't have enough time to train high-level cricket skills as required by professional players, and thought that baseball should be an American entertainment instead of a cricket. Harry and George's brothers became the first professional baseball player in the United States when they started Cincinnati Red Stockings in 1869 with the contribution of Aaron Champion.
In 1865, a championship game between the New York Mutual Club and the Brooklyn Atlantic Club was held at the Elisian Stadium and attracted about 20,000 spectators. This scene was included in the American National Baseball Game (right figure) lithography by Kallier & Ives of the printing press.
Two baseball fields surrounded by a fence were built in Brooklyn, allowing the promoter to charge entrance fees, and the glory of the Elisian Baseball Stadium has gone. In 1868, Manhattan's leading club, Mutual, moved to the Union Ground in Brooklyn. In 1880, the founders of the New York Metropolitan Company and the Giants were able to base their home in Manhattan's baseball stadium, which is known as the Polo Grounds.
'Heaven, Hell, or Hawken,'
When the United States of America decided to participate in World War I, Hoboken (and New Orleans)'s Hamburg-America Route pier was subject to land expropriation. The port was placed under the control of the federal government and part of the city was placed under martial law along with growing anti-German sentiment. Many Germans were forced to move to Ellis Island where the immigration office was, or to leave the city. The Hoboken became the main boarding port for the soldiers who went to Europe, and more than three million soldiers called Dohboy (infantry) left the port. The soldiers had been expecting an early return, so General Pershing said, "Heaven, Hell, or Hoboken... By Christmas, I created a slogan.
age between two wars
After the First World War, Italians from the port city of the Adriatic Sea, the Morfetta, became a large ethnic group in the city, increasing the number of immigrants from Ireland. The Hawken also experienced a recession, but with the dockyard and factory jobs, the house was full. The Central European German-speaking Jews came to immigrants and ran a small business. The New Jersey Port Authority was established on April 30, 1921. The Holland Tunnel was completed in 1927 and the Lincoln Tunnel was completed in 1937, and New Jersey and New York City became accessible by car regardless of the sea.
after World War II
World War II restored the vitality of the Hawken. Many industries in the city were needed to carry out the war. When the men went to the war, many women were hired at the factory, and in several factories including Todd Shipyard, women were put into the job system to motivate them. Some of the recruits used GI bills of residential paper, but those with ethnic groups and family ties chose to stay in the city. In the 1950s, the city's economy was still supported by large-scale plants such as Todd Dockyard, Maxwell House, Lipton Tea, Hostess and Bethlehem Steel, where investment in large institutional facilities remained steady. The labor union was strong and the salary was good enough.
However, the situation collapsed by the 1960s. The houses built at the turn of the twentieth century were shabby and crowded. The shipbuilding industry became cheaper in foreign countries. One-story factories surrounded by parking lots became more economical in manufacturing and distribution than brick buildings in crowded streets. As the manufacturing industry moved to the green plains, the ports were taken over by the Gulf of Newark, with its large facilities, and cars, trucks, and planes replaced the conventional railways and ships, and became dominant in the American transportation system, the town of Hoboken began to feel the pain of a relentless decline. Many of the Hawken residents moved to the suburbs of Bergen and Passaik counties in their neighboring villages, which resulted in a decline in the land price. The Hoboken transformed from the symbolic presence of the former vibrant port city to the representing its decline, often being included in the same category as the cities in New Jersey that suffer from similar phenomena such as Patterson, Elizabeth, Camden and neighboring Jersey City.
The old economic base was gone and nothing new was seen. There were attempts to stop the population decline by destroying so-called slums along River Street and building subsidized middle-income housing buildings in Malinview Plaza and Church Towers in the center of the city. A long, uncollected pile of garbage and a half-wild dog herd were not strange sights. The city of Hoboken has experienced a better time, but it is still not abandoned. The arrival of new immigrants, mostly Puerto Rican, continued to operate small shops, and abandoned homes were used. But there was not much work to do. Washington Street, called the "The Avenue," was not barred from the entrance and left a close neighborhood association with many of the people who still pride themselves on being citizens. The Stevens Institute of Technology is still a first-class industrial university, and Maxwell House keeps its tone of manufacture, and Bethlehem Steel employs sailors on the hill as laborers. Italian-American and others returned to the appetizers (delicatessen) in search of "old neighbors". Some of the streets are still "dangerous", and many are safe even at night.
waterfront
The waterfront of Hawken characterized Hawopen as a typical port town and gave economic power from the 19th century to the mid-20th century. At that time, the waterfront was an industrial area, and most of them could not enter the public. The black tea plant in Lipton, the big coffee plant in Maxwell House and the dry dock in Bethlehem Steel have long occupied the northern part. The southern area was a base for the former Hamburg-United States route, but it was suppressed by the federal government due to land acquisition when World War I broke out, and later it was a major cargo port on the east coast. The movie "Hatoba" ("On the Waterfront"), made in 1954, is one of the five best movies in the United States, and it was shot in Hoboken, which dramatically depicted the violent and violent lives of port workers and the penetration of unions for organized crime. The construction of interstate expressway networks and the introduction of container cargo handling equipment (especially the Newark-Elizabeth MARINE Terminal), the docks became obsolete and many of them were destroyed by the 1970s. The whole area of River Street was called the Barbary Coast, and in the past there were seamen's bars and inns, including shipbuilders, sailors, and marine merchants, but it was taken up as part of the urban redevelopment project. The management of the confiscated areas was returned to the city in the 1950s, but the complex lease contract with the Port Authority had little impact on the management. In the 1980s, the waterfront issue became a major political issue for Hawken, and people from various civic organizations and city governments were involved in difficult and sometimes foolish policies and trials. In the 1990s, Port and Harbor Public Corporation, local governments of various levels, Hoboken citizens and private company developers agreed to build commercial and residential buildings at waterfront and open spaces.
The northern part of the waterfront was owned by private companies, but it was also redeveloped. The dry dock and production facilities were scraped to make middle-class apartments, many of which were sold as investment houses. Several buildings were renovated and used for reuse. A prominent example is the tearoom and the mechanical room of the Hoboken Museum of History. The new building was required to be built along a checkered street, and the height limit was established to maintain the architectural characteristics of the town and the visibility to the river surface. The Shinatra Park and Shinatra Drive in the central town were named after Frank Sinatra, a man who is considered to be the most famous son of Hawken, and the name of Maxwell at the mountain hand reminds us of the fact that the smell of roasting coffee was brought to the town, and a large neon sign "delicious to the last drop" is part of a long historical landscape. In the middle area, there is an exposed part of serpentine, and above that is Stevens Institute of Technology. There is the only undeveloped area here. Under the cliff there is a cave in Sibiru, which remains sealed for a long time, and now there is a plan to resume it. The river bank path is part of the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway, and the state-built master plan will link from the Bayon Bridge to the George Washington Bridge to get down to the waterside everywhere, providing a belt-like urban park with a view of the Hudson River over the New York skyline.
before and after the millennium
From the 1970s to the 1980s, speculative fever increased in Hoboken. It was accelerated by local and outlandish real estate speculators who moved to New York and elsewhere, who bought a house of brown sandstone walls (a symbol of wealthy class) built around the turn of the 20th century and moved into an area where the middle class remained as it used to be, and bought an apartment late 19th century to use as a tenant. The Hawken had experienced a series of fires, some of which proved to be arson. Applied Housing, a real estate investment company, used the support of the U.S. government to collect semi-standardized housing and to receive the supported rent (generally called section 8). With this, low-income people, people who were forced to live in or out of their homes, and people with disabilities, came to the town. The Hoboken has attracted artists, musicians, highly mobile commuters (also known as yuppy or young urban professionals), and Bohemian-type people. They are interested in the social and economic possibilities and challenges of ruined New York, find value in the aesthetics of Hoboken's housing, public buildings, and commercial buildings, and place importance on the sense of the community, the relatively low rent (compared to Lower Manhattan), and the ability to jump out of the train right away. When Maxwell was released, Hawken became a "hip" (fashion-sensitive) place of life. In this social change, so-called 'newcomers' were replaced by 'old faces' in the eastern half of the city.
This gentrification phenomenon resembles a part of Brooklyn, a central town in Jersey City, and East Village in Manhattan. The size of the Soho and Tribeca areas, which used to be uninhabited, is similar, but small. With artists and young people living there, people's perception of the city changed, and people who never intended to move there became interested, and they became safe, interesting, and eventually considered it a desirable town. Many expatriates, family of expatriates, international workers, and immigrants who sought the opportunity near Manhattan in the New York-New Jersey area began to seek the house on the Hudson River's Jersey side, and many sought the opportunity with the help of the property boom. A building was built in a vacant lot, and the house was rented to a condominium. The Hoboken was keenly aware of the destruction of the World Trade Center. Many of the new residents are working there, because they chose Hoboken to be a place to invest in real estate. The redevelopment has encouraged new construction in the former waterfront plant area, and the Transit Village project is underway on the west side of the traditionally heavily-poor city, coupled with the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail and New Jersey land-use policy. The Hoboken has been the focus of rediscovery of the inner city of America. It is also the first foothold for those who wish to move to the New York Metropolitan Area.

It is now undergoing a major renovation. It serves as the terminal of several transportation networks, an important junction for the New York-New Jersey metropolitan area public transport system. At the west bank of the Hudson River, there were five points where the railroad and the ferry joined, but it is the only point that still remains in shape today. The other four stations, Westshore Railway Station of Wheehawk Ken, Erie Station of Pavonia, and Transit Station of Pennsylvania Railway in Jersey City were all abolished. The Central Rail Road of New Jersey's Community Station, located at the current Liberty State Park, faces Ellis Island and the statue of Liberty.
