==Early life==
Hoffman was born in South Amboy, New Jersey to Frank Hoffman and Ada Crawford Thom. Ada was the daughter of the painter James Crawford Thom and the granddaughter of Scottish sculptor James Thom. Hoffman also had two ancestors who were soldiers in the American Revolutionary War. His father's side of the family were among some of the early settlers in New Amsterdam, now known as New York City, but originated in Sweden; Hoffman's father's family were the descendents of Dutch nobility.〔Myers, William Starr. ''The Story of New Jersey'' (1945). Reprinted as (''Prominent Families of New Jersey'' ) (Genealogical Publishing Company, 2000), p. 8. "Harold G. Hoffman...in the paternal line comes of a family that originated in Sweden and married with the nobility of Holland."〕
Hoffman attended public schools and graduated from South Amboy High School in 1913. He worked with a local newspaper until enlisting on July 25, 1917 as a private in the Third Regiment of the New Jersey Infantry. He served overseas in WWI as a captain and advanced to the rank of lieutenant colonel until he was discharged with the rank of colonel in 1946.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=5989013 )〕 After World War I, Hoffman returned to South Amboy and became an executive with the South Amboy Trust Company. He would later become the bank's president, a position he would hold until 1942.
