Translated from 'Nordmændene i Amerika' by Martin Ulvestad. 1907. Hudson County In Hoboken there are quite a few Norwegians. There are also two Norwegian congregations each with a church. One of them belongs to The Norwegian Synod and the other to The Evangelical Free Church. In Jersey City there are also a number of people of Norwegian ancestry. The aforementioned societies each have a congregation and church here also. Therefore we find 4 Norwegian congregations and 4 churches in Hudson County. The most important source of income for the Norwegians: 1) loading and unloading ships, 2) shipping and 3) work in shipyards, drydocks, repair shops as well as paper and silk mills. The newspaper 'Luthersk Sendebud', published by The Norwegian Synod's clergy on the Atlantic coast, was begun in 1904.
