History[edit]
There were Bahá’ís resident in Jersey City from the early 1900's and in February 1907 Bahá’ís from North Hudson, Jersey City, and Newark held a meeting at which they formed a Bahá’í Assembly of New Jersey which evolved to be called the North Hudson and Jersey City Assembly. This body was a precursor to the Local Spiritual Assembly of Jersey City formed when the Bahá’í administration became formalized in the Ministry of Shoghi Effendi.[1]
As of the start of 1912 the Jersey City community was renting the Odd Fellows Hall to hold Bahá’í meetings every Sunday,[2] and when ‘Abdu’l-Bahá visited the United States that year He visited the city.[3]
