History

The city's name most likely is a transfer from Hoboken, New Jersey. [4] The Georgia General Assembly incorporated the place as the City of Hoboken in 1920. [5] Hoboken served as the first county seat of Brantley County from the county's formation in 1920 until 1923 when the seat was transferred to Nahunta. [6]
