Hoboken was first developed by Colonel John Stevens in the 17th century as part of New Netherlands. The name Hoboken is an English translation of the Delaware Indians' name for the area, "Hopoghan"
The city is a gentrified riverside urban area
It was once a railroad town (Erie Lackawanna) across from Manhattan
One lesser-known attraction is Sybil's Cave, on Frank Sinatra Drive (who was born in Hoboken)
Hoboken's grand railroad terminal was built in Beaux Arts style in 1907 where trains, subways, buses, ferries, and streetars could come together

Two different places
Then there is the riverfront
View of famous building across the river
They've seen the view many times
(Gold?) washing up on Hoboken shore
Not far off shore
Not all views show famous buildings
not all boats are big
Someone has to know the way across the river
Landlubbers
Still there are other things to see in Hoboken
Rememberance on Frank Sinatra Drive
Work, work, work!
Bye bye Hoboken
