Ho-Ho-Kus

Ho-Ho-Kus is unique and special. With access to the 3 metropolitan airports, is dissected by route 17, has direct train & bus service to NYC, is a few minutes from the NY State Thruway, and has the Garden State Parkway in its backyard. However, the prime location and the transportation conveniences do not diminish or interfere with the serene, halcyon atmosphere evident throughout the town. It is residential in nature, has no major industries, but does have a number professional offices, attractive stores, & businesses. Its development began as a community in the 1700's when homes were built and farms were cultivated. As time progressed, and by 1725, one could find the existence of a church formed under the name "low Dutch Reformed Church" and due to the insistence of the sturdy Dutch influence, a school was started as well.

The story of New Milford has been one of the Demarests and the Van Buskirks. David Demarest arrived in New Milford via the Hackensack River, encountered the Lenni Lenape Indians, and bought 8000 acres of land from them on June 8, 1677. They were the only family permanently in what now is Bergen County.

Next to the Van Steuben House is a good example of early Dutch architecture (the Demarest House) and it formerly stood next to the French cemetary in New Milford. It was originally owned by a Demarest, and moved to its present site in 1955.

In 1681 New Milford was surveyed and was owned by four Demarests. In the 18th century New Milford was basically farmland. Demarest Crossing was an important trading center and “seaport”. River Road is probably one of the oldest streets in Bergen County and one of the least changed. It was probably an old trappers trail. The next oldest streets are Henley and New Bridge Road.

New Milford was then in a period of quiet growth and became one of the fattest, most comfortable, and envied areas of the colonies.

In the 1770's New Milford was proud of its farmland of rich soil. There were a few small clusters of homes, gristmills, a sawmill, two or three taverns, and a Latin school.

The colonies followed a degree of self-government which they learned back in England. New Milford provided many Justices and Freeholders to help the County, and also representatives in the Provincial Assembly. Justices of the Peace were main figures in local government, having administrative as well as judicial authority. They appointed tax collectors and tax assessors and seized properties of those who did not pay their taxes. They built jails and filled them. The Freeholders were elected to consult with justices, particularly in the matter of levying taxes for roads.

Wheat was their principal crop along with buckwheat and corn. Cabbage was grown for sauerkraut and as fodder for cattle and hogs. Wild hemp grew hardily in the woods and was used for rope, hats, baskets, mats, wall covering and roofing. Flax tobacco and watermelon also grew in hardy crops.

During the 1700's there was a strong slavery economy. In 1726 there were approximately 2000 whites and 500 blacks in Bergen County.

New Milford is rich with history of the revolution, including George Washington and the troops at the New Bridge Inn (built about 1739), which was the center of the action. Within New Milford there was also a civil war where families were split apart. The attitude was one of wishful hoping that the trouble would pass away without disturbing the serenity of the valley.

Throughout the war, New Milford continued to bear the brunt of attack due to the strategic nature of New Bridge. Control of the area volleyed back and forth until the end of the war.

In the 19th century life remained tranquil and predominantly farmland. The Hackensack River was used to distribute the produce downstream. Industry in the area began with the local blacksmiths. There were five from New Bridge to old New Milford streets.

In 1830 there was a pottery mill on the Hackensack River spawned by the rich red clay at the banks. A collection of the pottery is on display at the Van Steuben House.

Wampum was used for trade with the Indians and was made in the 1840's in New Milford by Mary Jane Bell, who specialized in making black wampum beads derived from ocean clamshells. White wampum was made from conch shells.

Amusements were simple during this time. Farmers were “early to bed, early to rise”, but an interest in politics remained lively, leading back to the early days of the revolution. Elections were held in rotations at Tenafly, Cresskill, Schraalenburg (Dumont and Bergenfield) and Peetsburgh (New Milford). Elections were considered holidays permitting the citizenry to travel afoot or by carriage to the polling places. Many neighborhood disputes arose.

The Hackensack River was a scene of continuous activity until the end of the 19th century. At that time the NJ and NY Railroads became the primary means of commercial transportation.

From the days of the Indians, the Hackensack River provided amateur fishing for locals. Commercial fishing followed with the introduction of the railroad.

During the Civil War years, prevailing opinion in New Jersey as a whole, and Bergen County in particular, was unsympathetic to the Union cause. The reason was that the inhabitants were still predominately of Dutch heritage. Their prime consideration was the orderly conduct of their farms, for which domestic peace was essential. During the Civil War many of these conservatives tried to maintain their orderly lives by staying neutral. In addition, slavery as an institution was dying out in New Jersey. Only slaves born prior to 1804 were legally owned and at the time of the Civil War the youngest slave had to be fifty-seven years old. The farm owners considered themselves kind masters and worked side by side in the fields with their slaves who enjoyed more freedom than that of slaves in the south.

Elsewhere in the State, men of different ancestry such as railroading and manufacturing shared the southern point of view of States Rights. A group of 939 volunteers made up the regiment from the agriculture population of Bergen County. Elections thereafter shifted frequently between parties. After the Battle of Bull Run in July 1861 peace meetings began to be held in Bergen County. The State and Bergen County in particular voted against Lincoln by large margins in both of his elections.

In 1692 the Colonial Assembly divided Bergen County into two Townships, Hackensack and New Barbados. In 1871 Hackensack was divided into three smaller townships called Ridgefield, Englewood, and Palisades.

The Township of Palisades included New Milford, Dumont, Bergenfield, Cresskill, Tenafly and a part of both Demarest and Oradell.

Toward the end of the 19th Century inhabitants of many townships became dissatisfied with the management of their taxes and redistricting of schools. In 1893 school classes in New Milford were held in one room at the firehouse on Center Street in Peetzburg as it was called then. Pupils also attended school in Teaneck and Oradell. As a result a number of political subdivisions emerged.

The first to secede from Palisades Township was Tenafly in 1894, and Palisades no longer had its eastern boundaries on the Hudson River hence the historic name. By 1900, Bergenfield, Dumont and Cresskill, all dissatisfied with the larger township’s handling of local affairs, had broken away. All that remained of Palisades Township at that point was what we now know as New Milford.

At the close of the 19th century, the name New Milford had practically vanished on both sides of the Hackensack River. Not until voters from New Bridge, north to Oradell and east to Dumont and Bergenfield, combined to form a new Borough, was the old name reactivated by referendum.

On April 18, 1922 the Borough of New Milford was incorporated.

Northvale's early history can be placed back to Henry Hudson, who explored the area from the New York Harbor up the palisades. All of the land in the borough of Northvale was bought from the local Leni-Lenape Indians in 1681. In 1887, Northvale, then known as "Neuwy" was described as a quiet town of 400, mostly French & Italians, who conducted quite an extensive business in the manufacture of materials for artificial flowers. In May of 1916, when Northvale officially became a borough of Bergen County, it had a population of 827 and the highest tax rate in the County.

As you drive west along Route 208/287 approaching the Ramapo River, it is hard to imagine that 300 years ago this interstate highway may have been a quiet tree-lined path in a little valley used by the Minsi Indians of the Lenni Lenape tribe. The first Dutch settlers, who were stopped by the Ramapo River at the end of the path that is now Franklin Avenue, became so enamored of the area that they bought some 5,500 acres of it. The Minsi enjoyed these fertile valleys, hunted in the woods and fished in the "Ramapaugh" or "river of many round ponds". Thus, the Dutch called their settlement "De Panne" or the "The Ponds". Throughout the 18th century, Oakland evolved into a serene farming and lumbering area with numerous mills powered by the waters of the Ramapo River and numerous streams. In 1870 the town's name was changed from "The Ponds" to Oakland. After World War II, Oakland began its rapid development of permanent residents as commuting time to work became less and country living became more desirable. In the 1950's, Oakland was a non-farm community earning its title as “The Valley of Homes”.

The Delaware Indian word "Tuphanne" is where the name Tappan is derived from. It means cold water. Why it was named Old Tappan, no one knows, but it is believed that it was to distinguish it from Tappan, New York, of which Old Tappan was formerly a part. In 1704, Cosyn Haring, one of the original 16 parents, obtained a land grant from Queen Anne of England for most of the land which is now Old Tappan.

On March 7, 1871, the township of Midland was established and consisted of two areas. The Rochelle Park area was more urban, while the Paramus section was more farmland. In 1922, the proposition of separating Midland township was placed before the people in a referendum, and Paramus became a separate municipality. Midland Township, once encompassing the largest part of Bergen County, was reduced to an area of 1.1 square miles, the present size of what is known as Rochelle Park. Due to confusion in names between Midland Township and Midland Park, it was decided to change the name which became "Rochelle Park".

Our earliest settlers were of Dutch descent, but they arrived after the Dutch surrender of New Netherlands to the English in 1664. New Jersey was divided by Royal Grants. Modern Rutherford covers part of the adjacent lands granted to major Nathaniel Kingsland on the south and to captain John Berry on the north with Union Avenue serving as the approximate boundary line. The quiet life changed in 1830 when construction began on a railroad from Paterson to Hoboken. New York City tourists came to experience the wonder of "Rapid" transportation and discovered new lands for homes. A few existing large homes on the Passaic river were converted to hotels for the summer vacationers, and land development companies formed to seal lots and build houses for new residents. Although Rutherford today contains 3 1/2 times that many are still enjoying the tree-lined streets and the small parks that were originally planned.
