The city’s history dates back to the early 1600s when Henry Hudson laid claim to the area, at which time Hoboken was an island surrounded by the river. In the 19th century, the area expanded with development to its waterfront, as a resort for residents of Manhattan. By the latter half of the 19th-century major shipping lines began using Hoboken as a terminal port, and from then on business and industries flocked to the area to take part in the growth of the city.
Hoboken’s fame and sports scene is prominent and many tourists each year travel to the city to visit historical sporting sites. The first official record of baseball was recorded in Hoboken when the Knickerbocker Club and New York Nines played together at Elysian Fields in 1846. From the 1970s onwards, the city experienced some social upheaval with the replacing of some New-Yorkers to the area. Hoboken also attracted many bohemian types to the area as well as immigrants coming from Europe. With the expansion that followed, Hoboken went from hosting butchers and taverns to brimming with gourmet restaurants, luxury boutiques, and indulgent shopping malls. Its growth as an up-market and lively area has led to many seeing Hoboken as the ideal area to set up businesses.
