History
The Hudson Dispatch was published in East Newark, New Jersey by Trelease, Simonds & Company as Harrison Dispatch, starting around 1874. It moved to Jersey City in 1887, and relocated to Union Hill in 1890.[3]
Starting in the late 1970s, the staff of the Dispatch aggressively covered the notorious political corruption in Hudson and Bergen counties. A series of articles on the corrupt political practices in Union City, New Jersey, led to the conviction of William V. Musto, the city's mayor. During the same period other mayors and even a district attorney were prosecuted on corruption charges in part due to investigative journalism by the Dispatch.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
