Aprašymas

Hoboken holds a unique place in American history no city its size can match.

Originally an outpost in the Dutch Empire, it grew into a hub of the Industrial Revolution, becoming synonymous with steam powered ships and trains, the zipper, and even Tootsie Rolls in the process. Over the years, the city was home to some of the nation's wealthiest and most notable people, including John Jacob Astor and Frank Sinatra, and to waterfront shacks and tenements filled with destitute immigrants. When hard times hit, industry and innovation vanished, leaving Hoboken a dilapidated factory town. But it recovered to become a bohemian enclave and a leader in urban renewal.

Join author and journalist Joseph Lauro as he traces the city's remarkable past.
