JWB: This should be posted on the Hudson County Rootsweb page. Thank you. I was born at home on Union Place which became 37th St. in North Bergen. Columbia Park - Schuetzen Park were next to 37th St. Ann in Farmingdale, NJ In a message dated 3/25/2009 10:48:37 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, JBeekman@jclibrary.org writes: The unifying of street numbering across the North Hudson County towns - Union City, Weehawken, West New York, North Bergen, and Guttenberg, went into effect June 1, 1940. The "add 44" rule for all of the above except Union City applies from that time. Prior to that time, there were two sets of numbers - one set, which began (at 1) in Weehawaken and extended up through WNY, Guttenberg and the northern section of North Bergen (the portions SW portion of NB being named streets). The other set, dating from the establishement of Union City in 1925, covered that town and ran from 1st to 49th. The latter corresponded to 5th street in Weehawken. Hence, add 44. The name changes that resulted from the consolidation of Union Hill and West Hoboken in 1925 were mostly named streets becoming numbers, with one set of exceptions - the northern end of Union Hill had numbered streets which corresponded to Weehawken's, but which were changed to fall in line with the new numbers for Union City - so 2nd-5th streets became 46th-49th streets, 15 years earlier in UC than in Weehawken! There was a bit of misalignment, which is why 1st st. in Weehawken had to become Cooper Place. Interesting. JWB
