Woodcliff Lake is also the name of the reservoir that lies predominantly within the borough, with a small portion at the southeastern edge located in neighboring Hillsdale.[25][26]

History edit

The borough was originally incorporated as the Borough of Woodcliff, on August 31, 1894, from parts of Orvil Township and Washington Township, based on the results of a referendum held three days earlier.[27] The borough was formed during the "Boroughitis" phenomenon then sweeping through Bergen County, in which 26 boroughs were formed in the county in 1894 alone.[28] The borough derives its name from the characteristics of its geography.[29]

On March 1, 1910, after the creation of the reservoir, the name of the borough was changed to Woodcliff Lake, to match the name of the post office.[27] Prior to the creation of ZIP Codes as a way to uniquely identify addresses, United States Postal Service policy was that two post offices in a state could not have the same name, and there was already a "Woodcliff" in Hudson County.[30] On January 1, 1956, and again on July 1, 1958, Woodcliff Lake exchanged sections of land with Park Ridge. On October 13, 1960, portions were exchanged with Hillsdale.[31]

Woodcliff Lake has many historic houses and buildings, some dating from the 18th century. Many old buildings are also present, but are likely to have been modified through the years. The borough has seen intense development over the past 50 years, as virtually all areas available for construction have been developed.[citation needed]

Geography edit

According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 3.55 square miles (9.19 km2), including 3.38 square miles (8.74 km2) of land and 0.17 square miles (0.45 km2) of water (4.85%).[2][3]

The borough is bordered by the Bergen County municipalities of Hillsdale, Montvale, Park Ridge, River Vale, Saddle River, and small portions of Upper Saddle River.[32][33][34] Woodcliff Lake is located approximately 20 miles (32 km) northwest of Manhattan.

Government edit

Local government edit

Woodcliff Lake is governed under the borough form of New Jersey municipal government, which is used in 218 municipalities (of the 564) statewide, making it the most common form of government in New Jersey.[52] The governing body is comprised of a mayor and a borough council, with all positions elected at-large on a partisan basis as part of the November general election. A mayor is elected directly by the voters to a four-year term of office. The borough council is comprised of six members elected to serve three-year terms on a staggered basis, with two seats coming up for election each year in a three-year cycle.[8] The borough form of government used by Woodcliff Lake is a "weak mayor / strong council" government in which council members act as the legislative body with the mayor presiding at meetings and voting only in the event of a tie. The mayor can veto ordinances subject to an override by a two-thirds majority vote of the council. The mayor makes committee and liaison assignments for council members, and most appointments are made by the mayor with the advice and consent of the council.[53][54]

As of 2023, the mayor of Woodcliff Lake is Republican Carlos Rendo, whose term of office ends December 31, 2023. Members of the Borough Council are Council President Jennifer Margolis (D, 2024), Jacqueline M. Gadaleta (D, 2024), Josephine Higgins (D, 2023), Nicole Marsh (D, 2025), Benjamin Pollack (D, 2025) and Richard Schnoll (D, 2023).[4][55][56][57][58][59][60]

In May 2020, Craig Marson was appointed by the borough council from a list of three candidates nominated by the Democratic municipal committee to fill the seat expiring in December 2021 that had been held by Ian Spelling until he resigned from office; Marson served on an interim basis until November 2020, when voters then chose a candidate to serve the remainder of the term of office.[61]

In January 2016, the borough council appointed Angela Hayes to fill the vacant seat expiring in December 2016 that had been held by Carlos Rendo until he took office as mayor.[62]

Jean Bae was chosen in September 2012 to fill the vacancy of Kenneth Baum, who had resigned from the council earlier that month. Bae became the borough's first Asian-American councilwoman.[63]

Controversy erupted in the borough in August 2008 when former mayor LaPaglia described Councilmen Bader and Rosenblatt as "the temple twins", an apparent reference to their Jewish religion. The two councilmen demanded an apology, which LaPaglia would not give, denying antisemitic intent and stating that he is prone to colorful nicknames.[64]

Emergency services edit

Fire edit

Woodcliff Lake is served by a volunteer fire department that was established in 1932 after residents became dissatisfied with fire protection paid for through Park Ridge.[109] The WLFD consists of a chief, a deputy chief, two captains and three lieutenants in addition to the 30+ members. Woodcliff Lake Fire Department operates Squad 7, Squad 72, Truck 75 'The Triboro Truck', Rescue 76, Marine 7 and Marine 7A out of the fire house on Pascack Road. The chiefs are assigned cars numbered after their radio designations Chief 7 and Deputy 7. WLFD is part of Bergen County Fire Battalion 8, is responsible for fire suppression and rescue services on the stretch of the Garden State Parkway that passes through the Borough (mile markers 168.4-170.6) and dispatching is contracted to Ridgewood, New Jersey based Northwest Bergen Central Dispatch (NWBCD).[110]

Ambulance edit

Together with Park Ridge and Montvale, Woodcliff Lake is one of the three municipalities that is part of the Tri-Boro Volunteer Ambulance Corps, founded in 1938 and provides EMS service to these three communities. Tri-Boro is a non-profit and full volunteer group which provides free emergency service to those in the community who need it at any time. The headquarters is located in Park Ridge near Mill Pond.[111]

Police edit

Woodcliff Lake's police department, located next to borough hall and the fire department, was founded in 1954.[112]

Education edit

The Woodcliff Lake Public Schools serve students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade.[113] As of the 2018–19 school year, the district, comprised of two schools, had an enrollment of 737 students and 77.5 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 9.5:1.[114] The schools in the district (with 2018–19 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics[115]) are Dorchester Elementary School[116] with 464 students in grades Pre-K through 5 and Woodcliff Middle School[117] which had 265 students in grades 6–8.[118]

For ninth through twelfth grades, Woodcliff Lake public school students attend Pascack Hills High School, along with those from Montvale. The school is part of the Pascack Valley Regional High School District, which serves students from Hillsdale and River Vale at Pascack Valley High School.[119][120] As of the 2018–19 school year, the high school had an enrollment of 842 students and 70.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.0:1.[121] The mayor and council of Woodcliff Lake have passed resolutions supporting the withdrawal of the borough from the Pascack Valley Regional High School District, noting that the community contributes 28% of the district's spending, while accounting for 19% of the students attending the district's schools. Both Montvale and Woodcliff Lake, with substantial commercial property tax ratables, have a cost per student substantially higher than that paid by the other two communities, with Woodcliff Lake's cost of $28,521 nearly double the $14,840 paid by Hillsdale (on a per student basis).[122]

Public school students from the borough, and all of Bergen County, are eligible to attend the secondary education programs offered by the Bergen County Technical Schools, which include the Bergen County Academies in Hackensack, and the Bergen Tech campus in Teterboro or Paramus. The district offers programs on a shared-time or full-time basis, with admission based on a selective application process and tuition covered by the student's home school district.[123][124]

The Garden State Parkway may be entered, southbound, or exited from, northbound, at exit 171. Due to the fact that not all movements are possible at that exit, exits 168 in Washington Township and 172 in Montvale are also used to access the borough.[128]

Public transportation edit

Community edit

Tice Farms was a farm and roadside stand in Woodcliff Lake. Founded in 1808, it was a local landmark which attracted families from miles around, especially in the fall, when it was noted for pumpkins, apple cider, freshly baked donuts, and other fall products. Many people would make the drive to the area from New York City, causing massive traffic jams on autumn weekends. Beginning in the 1970s, the farm was increasingly squeezed by local land development, and Richard Tice, the head of the family, repeatedly sold land to accommodate development.[136] BMW's North American headquarters are located on Chestnut Ridge Road, and is built, and currently being expanded on land once owned by the Tice family.[137] The company is the town's predominant landowner. Tice Farms is now Tice's Corner, an upscale strip mall.[138]

Van Riper's Farm, formerly located approximately across the street from Tice's, was founded in the late 18th century and known for its apple cider and annual turkey shoot. It was closed to make way for an A&P supermarket, which was known as the company's trademark store.[139] The store was acquired by Acme Markets in 2015 and finally closed in 2019.[140]

A small reminder of Woodcliff Lake's rural history is Fusco's Market, located on the corner of Werimus and Saddle River Roads. Nearby is the Old Mill Pond, which was established as the town's swimming pool around 1950 when the borough acquired the small, nearly silted-up mill pond near the headwaters of the Musquapsink Brook. Old Mill Pond has been renovated to include a partial sand beach along with a water slide, two diving boards, swimming lanes, and other water activities for kids.[141]

Woodcliff Lake lacks its own public library; however, it offers its residents reimbursement if they pay for a library membership from a neighboring municipality with its own library.[142]

The borough was originally assigned the ZIP Code 07680. As part of post office consolidation in the early 1970s, it lost its postmaster (though not its post office) and was designated a branch of the Westwood post office, sharing the ZIP code 07675. Following longtime public protest, it regained its own ZIP code, 07677, as of July 2000.[143]
