Inhabited since pre-Columbian times by the Lenni Lenape Native American tribe, the region surrounding Waldwick was first explored by Europeans when a Dutch trading expedition landed near there c. 1610. With the creation of the Nieuw Amsterdam colony in 1624, the present site of the borough, along with the rest of northeastern New Jersey, became a Dutch possession. During the period from 1624-1664 it was sparsely developed by Dutch settlers, mainly for agricultural purposes. With the annexation of Nieuw Amsterdam by the English in 1664 came a nearly instant increase in immigration to the region and the development of several settlements in and around the present borders of the borough. On the eve of the American Revolutionary War, Waldwick and the surrounding area constituted a small settlement within Franklin Township, and are that encompassed much of northwestern Bergen County. -- Source: Wikipedia.com
