History
Hudson Town, a predecessor of Hudson City, was formed by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 12, 1852, from portions of North Bergen Township.[1]
Hudson City itself was incorporated on April 11, 1855, from portions of Hudson Town and North Bergen Township.[1]
On May 2, 1870, both Hudson City and Bergen City were annexed by Jersey City and is known by the people of Jersey City as only the Heights.[1][2] The former Hudson City is now The Heights section of the city.
