Saddle Brook, one of 70 towns that comprise Bergen County,
is home to approximately 13,000 residents and lies just 10 miles west of New York City. Saddle
Brook adopted its current name on November 8,
1955, replacing Saddle River
Township. Saddle River Township
was created on March 20,
1716, and consisted of all
of the territory in Bergen County west of the Saddle River. This makes it one of the
oldest municipalities in Bergen
County.
The area was first settled by the Dutch as part of New Amsterdam. Like many parts of New Jersey, Saddle Brook felt the marching
feet of our Revolutionary heroes on its soil. What is today Outwater Lane (then called Tours Lane) was
used by General Washington's army to march to the Passaic River,
which the troops had to ford. A stone monument stands there today to attest to
the fact that our soldiers crossed the river at that point. It is known as
Post's Ford.
Currently, the town does not have a working Web site. However,
if you would like to learn more about Saddle Brook, please call the Town Hall
at 201-587-2900.
