History

On March 5, 1870, service began between Westwood and New York City (via Jersey City and a ferry ride). After operating for close to two centuries, it was almost completely ruined by an arsonist’s fire and had to be dismantled in 1910. In the early 19th century, the area that would later become Westwood Borough was within the larger political boundaries of Harrington Township, New Jersey Township, which had been established by royal charter in 1775. The Hackensack River was the dividing line. Early families, including the Hoppers and Ackermans are buried at the Old Hook Cemetery.
