In the mid-19th century; Tenafly was a small Dutch-settled farming community located along the Hudson River; west of the Palisades. Once the railroad started running through the village around 1860; Tenafly developed into an attractive growing neighborhood as well as a summer retreat for wealthy professionals. In 1894; the village broke away from Palisades Township and received borough status. The completion of the George Washington Bridge in 1931 made the journey to Manhattan more convenient; attracting more city dwellers as residents and cementing Tenafly�s place in New York suburbia. Since the days of unpaved roads; handfuls of wood-framed stores; and country estates; Tenafly has boasted intimate parks and historic landmarks that give this picturesque Bergen County town its community feel. The photographs in Tenafly show the community�s social and physical development throughout its more than 110-year history as a borough.
