Hudson County, Administrative county in New Jersey, United States
Hudson County stretches along the Hudson River, encompassing 12 municipalities with Jersey City serving as its capital and largest population center.
Originally inhabited by Lenape people, Hudson County was established in 1840 after separating from Bergen County to accommodate growing industrial developments.
The county represents a mix of communities from different backgrounds, with neighborhoods reflecting Italian, Irish, and Latin American influences in architecture and local traditions.
The county maintains strong transportation connections through PATH trains, ferries, and bus lines, providing direct access to Manhattan and surrounding New Jersey regions.
Hudson County holds the distinction of being New Jersey's smallest yet most densely populated county, with water boundaries on three sides forming natural borders.
