Living in Emerson, NJ
Known as the gateway to the Pascack Valley region of Bergen County, Emerson was formerly occupied by the Lenape Indians, or at least it is known to have been part of their tribal territory. Originally split into two territories, Kinderkamack on the West and Old Hook on the East. Kinderkamack Road derives its name from a Lenape word for “the local area.” What Kinderkamack is actually translated to is still a debate. “Hook” was translated as meaning the angle or corner. The angle had three connecting waterways, Hackensack River, Pascack Brook and the Musquapsink Brook. With great schools, many parks, a plentiful shopping district and easy commuting to Manhattan, Emerson is a much sought after location in Bergen County.
