Weehawken Cove (also known as North Hoboken Harbor, Hoboken Cove and Hoboken's Inner Harbor), is a small body of water in New Jersey that extends westward from the Hudson River. The harbor/cove is north of Hoboken and south of Weehawken. The cove was first discovered by Henny Hudson, who anchored his ship in the cove on October 2, 1609. Most the Harbor is within Hoboken boundaries, but there is a small section that is in Weehawken. A pair of apartment complexes have been built along the harbor/cove in the last decade. On the Hoboken side of the harbor/cove is the Hoboken Tea Building Walkway, which goes alongside the water and offers the best public Hoboken views of the harbor/cove. There are also piers, but most aren't opened to the public yet. Manhattan is easily visible from the harbor/cove.
In 2005, David Roberts, the mayor of Hoboken, unveiled a plan to build a Hoboken Cove park.
Weehawken is a residential community of primarily high-density houses and low-rise apartments.
In 1752 Weehawken was given a grant for its first ferry service; the ferry house was north of Hoboken, and was primarily used for farm produce.
Weehawken (though misspelled in a caption as "Weehauken") was humorously slighted in an episode of Futurama as being the prior location of the rather ramshackle Democratic Order Of Planets headquarters, where DOOP must return after Zapp Brannigan unwittingly destroys the new space-faring headquarters during its christening ceremony.
