      city, Hudson county, northeastern New Jersey, U.S., just north of Hoboken. It lies near the western end of the Lincoln Tunnel, on the Palisades (Palisades, The) overlooking the Hudson River and New York City. In an area originally settled by the Dutch and later by many Germans, the city was established in 1925 in the merger of West Hoboken (originally incorporated in 1861) and Union (1864). The city is both residential and industrial, best known for the manufacture of textiles, clothing, toilet preparations, paper products, and lamps. In the West Hoboken section is St. Michael the Archangel monastery church (1898), which is used as a retreat for the Passionists (Passionist), a Roman Catholic order for men. Annually since 1914 St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church has presented the passion play Veronica's Veil during Lent. Pop. (1990) 58,012; (2000) 67,088.
