With more than 42,400 inhabitants per square mile (16,400/km2), Hoboken was ranked as the third-most densely populated municipality in the United States among cities with a population above 50,000.Hoboken was first settled by Europeans as part of the Pavonia, New Netherland colony in the 17th century.


During the early 19th century, the city was developed by Colonel John Stevens, first as a resort and later as a residential neighborhood. Originally part of Bergen Township and later North Bergen Township, it became a separate township in 1849 and was incorporated as a city in 1855.
