Hoboken is a city in Brantley County, Georgia, United States. As of the 2020 census, the city had a population of 480.
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]
