Herman Avenue was one of the original street names in Guttenberg and dates back to the early 1850's when the Weehawken Land and Ferry Company platted and developed what was then Cooper's Farm. In 1910, Herman St became 26th St as part of a renaming of all North Hudson streets northwards from Union Hill. Later, in 1940, the numbered cross streets were renumbered beginning from the southern boundary of Union City. At that time 26th St became 70th St. Most of the "original" Guttenberg streets underwent name changes over the years as follows: Ferry Road became 27th St, then 71st St (except it retained the Ferry Road name down the hillside to the river). Herman Ave became 26th St, then 70th St. Franklin Ave became 25th St, then 69th St. Hudson Ave became 24th St, then 68th St. Hudson River Turnpike became River Road. Boulevard East did not exist before about 1895. First Street became Bellevue Ave. Bulls Ferry Road became Park Ave. Second St became Broadway. Third St became Hudson Ave. Fourth St became Palisade Ave. Fifth St became Madison Ave. Sixth St became Polk Ave. Seventh St became Jackson Ave. Eighth St became Adams Ave. Dallytown Road became Hudson Blvd. Bergenline Avenue is the only street to retain its identity over the years, although originally it was known as Bergen Line Road.
