Town
History: |
Upper
Saddle River was incorporated in 1894 when it was basically
a farming community consisting of Apple Orchards, Strawberry
Fields, and Dairy Farms. As Upper Saddle River celebrated
its 100th birthday, many things have changed. However,
the quiet beauty of this lovely community remains as much
a treasure to the current residents as it had been for
the generations which have preceded them. |
