From farmland to suburb, Waldwick’s transformation over time
Located within North Jersey’s suburban Bergen County, the small borough of Waldwick has an alluring charm brought out by its unique local businesses, its beautiful parks, and its relaxed, small-town feel. With access to both a train station and major highways, Waldwick residents are able to enjoy the quintessential North Jersey suburban experience while also living within an hour’s drive from the opportunities that nearby New York City has to offer. Waldwick has a long history, dating to the establishment of the Dutch colony of Bergen during the 1660s. For most of its history, Waldwick was an agricultural community, and it became a township in 1886. Its farm-dotted landscape transformed into a thriving suburb after the railroad arrived in 1886, with manufacturing industries attracting new residents to the town. Waldwick became a borough in 1919 as its population and housing expanded, taking its present form.
Waldwick was founded in 1919.
By train or by car, residents have easy access to New York City from Waldwick.
