Frank Hague

Frank Hague was an American Democratic Party politician who served as the mayor of Jersey City, New Jersey from 1917 to 1947, Democratic National Committeeman from New Jersey from 1922 until 1949, and ViceChairman of the Democratic National Committee from 1924 until 1949.

Francis Frank Hague, born in Jersey City, was the fourth of eight children to John D. and Margaret Hague , immigrants from County Cavan, Ireland. He was raised in Jersey Citys Second ward, an area known as The Horseshoe due to its shape which wrapped around a railroad loop. The ward was created when the Republicancontrolled legislature gerrymandered a district within Jersey City in 1871 to concentrate and isolate Democratic, and mostly Catholic, votes.
