Hoboken
The name “Hoboken” was decided upon by Colonel John Stevens when he purchased land, on a part of which the city still sits. It’s believed that the Lenape (later called Delaware Indian) referred to the area as the “land of the tobacco pipe”, most likely to refer to the soapstone collected there to carve tobacco pipes, and used a phrase that became “Hopoghan Hackingh”. The city has also been cited as having been named after the Van Hoboken family of the 17th-century estate in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, where there is still a square dedicated to them. Hoboken’s unofficial nickname is now the “Mile Square City”, but it actually covers an area of two square miles when including the under-water parts in the Hudson River. The term “hobo” (i.e., a railroad journeyman) is believed to have stemmed from the groups of hobos traveling by railroad from Hoboken.
