North Hudson is the area in the northern part of Hudson County, New Jersey, situated on the west bank of the Hudson River, mostly atop the Hudson Palisades. It comprises Weehawken, Union City, West New York, Guttenberg, and North Bergen.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
With a combined population of approximately 206,000 according to 2022 estimates,[7] the municipalities are among the most densely populated in the United States. Some have large proportions of foreign-born residents[8][9] and majority-Hispanic populations.[10] In all of the five towns except Weehawken, large percentages of the population speak a language other than English.[11]
The towns and adjacent areas have been known as "The Home of the American Embroidery Industry",[12][13] the silk center of the nation,[14] and "Havana on the Hudson".
