Hudson
County was originally home to the Lenape Indians. Hudson County
is named for Henry Hudson. It is also the oldest self-governing
municipality in New Jersey. In 1709 Hackensack became the county's
seat. The Morris Canal, early steam railroads, and the devlopment
of the harbor stimulated growth and in September 1840, Hudson
County was created from portiions of Bergen and of some Essex
County. Bergen Township was created in1798 and Union City was
created from portions of Hudson County in 1925. Many famous manufacturers
were established in the county including Colgate, Dixon and Maxwell
House. The county since the mid-1990s has seen development and
a population increase.
