Hudson City sat on top of the Palisades and had been its own municipality since the 1850s, with Bergen City on the ridge to the south. On 2 May 1870 both were annexed into Jersey City in one stroke, which is how a place with a Dutch village at its centre and a rail terminal at its edge became a single large industrial city. The Heights is what Hudson City is called now.
