About Us:

Waldwick is a small town in the USA. It is located in a hilly area in northwest Bergen County in northeastern New Jersey. It is surrounded by the boroughs of Allendale, Saddle River, and Ho-Ho-Kus, by the village of Ridgewood, and by the townships of Midland Park and Wyckoff.

The history of Waldwick has been associated with transportation, since Franklin Turnpike, the main road that crosses Waldwick from north to south, was originally a Lenni-Lenape trail skirting the foothills east of the Ramapos Mountains. During the last century, Franklin Turnpike was a toll road hence its 'turnpike' name. Also in the 1840s, a railroad line was built that connected the towns of Jersey City to Suffern. In 1852, the Erie Railroad Company took it over. This line passed through the Waldwick area and was practically parallel to Franklin Turnpike. At this time Waldwick was a hamlet called New Prospect, but it was not a train stop yet.

Today, with a population of 10,000, Waldwick is a very pleasant small town with a family character, in which many nationalities and different faiths are represented. Almost ninety percent of the housing is detached single-family homes. Waldwicks has many fine stores and shops within walking distance. Restaurants range from fast food to elegant dining. Waldwick is also minutes away from major shopping malls on Route 17 and Route 4.
