Upper Saddle River Community

The quiet beauty of this lovely community remains as much a treasure to Upper Saddle River homeowners as it had been for the generations which preceded them.

Upper Saddle River History

Hardy Europeans traversed the Saddle River Valley in the very early days of the colonization of America. They hunted & farmed to feed their families, and it remained a farm community for more than 250 years. George Washington marched troops up the East Saddle Road during the Revolution, and there are still a number of buildings in town that date from that era. In addition to the farms there were a number of mills situated along the branches of the Saddle River. Upper Saddle River was primarily an agricultural community until after World War II. After the war however, people began moving out of the cities and suburbs were created all over the United States.

Upper Saddle River grew dramatically form that time until recent years when the population stabilized. Upper Saddle River was incorporated in 1894 when it was basically a farming community consisting of apple orchards, strawberry fields and dairy farms. Much of the beauty of Upper Saddle River today can be traced back to the vision of the town "fathers" who argued that strict zoning would produce a desirable place to live. Upper Saddle River's major growth period did not begin until the late 1950's and didn't peak until the late 60's.
