Hoboken, New Jersey’s single worst fire occurred on June 30th, 1900 and killed at least 326 people. This fire broke out on a shipping dock located near the present-day Pier C Park. The loss of life and property was immense but unfortunately, it’s not Hoboken’s only fire-related tragedy.
The Hoboken Fire Victims Memorial Project is working to identify the victims of the fires and create a memorial in the city. You can learn more about the memorial project here.
