The small but strong Borough of Englewood Cliffs, with a
population of approximately 5,000 residents, is home to the world headquarters
of CNBC and the American headquarters of Unilever.
Originally a part of the City of Englewood, the Borough was incorporated on
May 10, 1895. The site the borough now occupies was the scene of a heroic
encounter that changed the course of our nation. An unknown farmer riding
from the north over our cliffs warned General Washington's men, camped on the
crest of the Palisades at Fort Lee, that the
British were coming. The early warning allowed Washington to make his successful strategic
retreat and thus avoid confronting the numerically superior British force.
