Staden växte fram omkring New York och New Jerseys hamn, och Hobokens stora färjeterminal är fortfarande ett viktigt transportnav för resande med kollektivtrafik mellan New Jersey och Manhattan. I modern tid har området till stora delar bebyggts med modernare bostads- och affärskvarter, med en kraftigt ökande befolkning.

Hoboken was first settled as part of the Pavonia, New Netherland colony in the 17th century. During the early 19th century the city was developed by Colonel John Stevens, first as a resort and later as a residential neighborhood. Originally part of Bergen Township and later North Bergen Township, it became a separate township in 1849 and was incorporated as a city in 1855.
