Elmwood Park, one of 70 towns that comprise Bergen County,
is home to approximately 19,000 residents. The town has a rich history dating
back to colonial times and was originally part of the Dutch colony of New Netherland.
Prior to 1916, the area that is now Elmwood Park was known as Dundee Lake,
a section of Saddle
River Township.
Residents of the Dundee Lake area voted on April 18, 1916 to secede from Saddle River
Township and form the
Borough of East Paterson. In 1917, residents of the Rosemont section of Saddle River
Township voted to be annexed to East Paterson. In November of 1972, residents voted to
change the name of the Borough to Elmwood Park.
The new name became official on January 1, 1973.
