Hudson County sits along Hudson River just across from New York and Ellis Island in the northern reaches of the state. It was created in 1840 from Bergen County which was established in 1683. The records within this book pre-date the creation of Bergen County and even go back first permanent European settlement (Bergen Township) in the territory of present-day New Jersey. These records cover the time frame of 1609-1871 and not only does it cover the land records of the area but also births, deaths and marriage records. This book has it all for those looking for their relatives in this northern section of New Jersey.
