Hoboken: Mile-Square City and the Birthplace of Baseball Lore
Hoboken covers just 1.3 square miles directly across the Hudson River from midtown Manhattan. The population is roughly 54,000. A widely cited though disputed tradition holds that the first organized game of baseball under Knickerbocker rules was played at the Elysian Fields in Hoboken on June 19, 1846. The plaque at 11th and Washington Streets commemorates the event.
Stevens Institute of Technology, founded in 1870 as one of the oldest engineering schools in the United States, occupies a campus on the ridge overlooking the Hudson. The university's Castle Point campus takes its name from the Stevens family estate, and the family's inventions include the first American-built steam locomotive to run on rails, tested at Hoboken in 1825.
Frank Sinatra was born in Hoboken in 1915 and grew up on Monroe Street. The waterfront promenade on Sinatra Drive bears his name. The Hoboken Terminal, opened in 1907, remains an active intermodal facility served by PATH, NJ Transit commuter rail, the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail, and ferry service to Manhattan.
