River Vale
is a
township
in
Bergen County
, in the
U.S. state
of
New Jersey
. River Vale is the easternmost municipality in an area of the county referred to as the
Pascack Valley
. As of the
2020 United States census
, the township's population was 9,909,
[9]
[10]
an increase of 250 (+2.6%) from the
2010 census
count of 9,659,
[19]
[20]
which in turn reflected an increase of 210 (+2.2%) from the 9,449 counted in the
2000 census
.
[21]
The township was ranked #29 on the 100 Best Places to Live 2007 survey published by
CNN
/
Money
magazine.
[22]
River Vale was formed as a township on April 30, 1906, from portions of both Hillsdale Township (now
Hillsdale Borough
) and
Washington Township
.
[23]
[24]
The township was named for its location along the
Hackensack River
.
[25]
On January 5, 1904, the temperature in River Vale fell to ?34
°F
(?37
°C
), the
lowest temperature
ever recorded in New Jersey.
[26]
History
[
edit
]
The earliest settlers of what would become River Vale were the
Lenape
Native Americans
.
Before 1841, present-day River Vale was part of
Harrington Township
. It used to be known as the "Over Kill Neighborhood" or just "Over Kill"?it being over the
kill
(
Hackensack River
) from
Tappan
. Its southern part, known as
Eastwood
(named in contrast to
Westwood
), became an independent borough in 1894, but was dissolved and re-absorbed into
Washington Township
in 1896.
[23]
River Vale was incorporated as a township in 1906, formed from portions of both
Hillsdale
and Washington Township. On July 15, 1929, part of River Vale was ceded to
Park Ridge
. On May 20, 1959, territory was acquired from
Montvale
.
[23]
In 1967, a mass grave site was discovered in River Vale from an event in 1778 during the
American Revolutionary War
, the
Baylor Massacre
. This became widely known due to a February 1968 report to the Bergen County
Board of Chosen Freeholders
, "1778 ? The Massacre of Baylor's Dragoons." The burial site was made into a county park that was dedicated on October 15, 1972.
[27]
On July 28, 1994, the residents of River Vale voted to
recall
Mayor Walter Jones, Councilwoman Patricia Geier and Councilman Bernard Salmon, following a battle between residents and the mayor and some council members over the mayor's plan to merge River Vale's
9-1-1
center to a regional dispatch center located in
Park Ridge
.
[28]
[29]
A River Vale resident, Henry Hoffman, directed the scrapping of
USS
Enterprise
in
Kearny
from 1958 to 1960. Following Hoffman's death in 1965, the stern plate of the
Enterprise
was placed on a
Little League
baseball field
as a memorial. The field was later named Hoffman Field. On October 2, 2000, the stern plate was moved to the township's Veterans' Memorial Park.
[30]
In March 2004, the township became the first municipality in the state to be placed on probation by the Municipal Excess Liability Joint Insurance Fund, a fund that covers legal expenses of member municipalities and government agencies. The issue was due to the number and scope of legal cases against the township, its employees and its governance, plus what David Grub, chief executive of the fund, called "a general environment of personal attack". The fund urged the township to update employment practices and better train managers to avoid liabilities. As a result of these issues,
The New York Times
called the township "small but litigious".
[31]
Geography
[
edit
]
According to the
United States Census Bureau
, the township had a total area of 4.31 square miles (11.17 km
2
), including 4.07 square miles (10.54 km
2
) of land and 0.24 square miles (0.63 km
2
) of water (5.64%).
[1]
[2]
The township is bordered by
Montvale
to the northwest,
Park Ridge
,
Woodcliff Lake
(a very small section) and
Hillsdale
to the west,
Westwood
to the southwest, a small section bordering
Emerson
to the south,
Harrington Park
to the southeast,
Old Tappan
to the east, and
Pearl River, New York
to the north.
[32]
[33]
[34]
[35]
Its borders are defined by the
Hackensack River
to the east, which was dammed to form
Lake Tappan
, and
Pascack Brook
to the south. The northern border is defined by the
New York
-
New Jersey
state border. The western border has several sections, including a section defined by an unnamed creek and a section defined by Cedar Lane.
The southern portion of the township lies between the Hackensack River and Pascack Brook, and is relatively flat. The northern portion slopes down from rolling hills in the west into Lake Tappan to the east. Much of the land is developed as
suburban
single-family
residences, but there remain some undeveloped areas. The undeveloped areas are mostly wooded and are south and west of Lake Tappan, following the Cherry Brook and the Hackensack River watershed. In 1996, plans to develop watershed land received resistance from the community.
[36]
In the southwest of the township, the
Pascack Brook County Park
also preserves a wooded area.
[37]
There are three
golf courses
in the township, two 18-hole public courses, and a private 18-hole course.
There is a small commercial district surrounding the intersection of Rivervale Road and Westwood Avenue in the southern portion of the township.
