The Bahá'í Faith has been part of the Hoboken community for decades
Bahá'u'lláh taught us that a just and peaceful global society is possible, and Bahá'ís in Hoboken and all over the world are working to eliminate racial prejudice, advance the equality of women and men, and build a vibrant spiritual community that reflects the diversity of our human family.

In 1899 Isabella D. Brittingham and J.F. Brittingham, Arthur James, Charles T. Jones, and Dr. N.C. Rhodes established the very first Hoboken Bahai Assembly and Board.
