Living in Upper Saddle River, NJ

Upper Saddle River was settled by Dutch settlers in the 18th century. It gained it’s status as a borough in 1894, but the land dates back 7,000 years as archaeologists have found evidence. Today, it is predominantly a community of residential homes on one acre lots. There is some industry and commerce along the border and Route 17. The name Saddle River, the name of the river, comes from early explorers who believed the geography of the land resembled the Sale Burn, the valley near a stream in the Scottish area of Argyll.
