HISTORY
Cliffside Park is a small friendly community about 6 miles from NYC and about 15 miles from Newark Airport. Where luxury high-rises now stand was once the site of the old Palisades Amusement Park and the Grand Roller Coaster. Cliffside Park was formed based on the results of a referendum held on January 15, 1895, from portions of Ridgefield Township. The borough was formed during the "Boroughitis" phenomenon then sweeping through Bergen County, as of one two boroughs created in 1895 after 26 boroughs were formed in the county in 1894 alone. The borough was named for its location as a "Park by the Cliffs"
