HISTORY
Originally settled by the Dutch, this fine, moderately priced community has many quaint old colonial homes. It is within a short distance of major highways and within an easy commute to NYC. Midland Park is an involved community of young & old alike, providing year-round recreational facilities with especially interesting programs for people of all ages. Midland Park was incorporated as a borough on September 6, 1894, at the height of the "Boroughitis" craze then sweeping through Bergen County that led to the creation of over two dozen new municipalities in the county in that one year alone. The new borough consisted of portions of both Franklin Township and Ridgewood Township. The borough expanded in April 1920 by adding another part of Franklin Township. In a referendum held on June 9, 1931, Midland Park acquired additional land from Wyckoff Township (which until 1926 had been known as Franklin Township).] The borough says that Midland Park was named after the New Jersey Midland Railway, which operated the railroad passing through the area of the borough in the 1870s though elsewhere the name is said to be based on being situated "amid Bergen hills"
Education
The Midland Park School District serves students in public school for pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade. As of the 2014–15 school year, the district and its three schools had an enrollment of 1,033 students and 97.7 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 10.6:1. Schools in the district (with 2014-15 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics) are Godwin School (217 students in grades PreK-2), Highland School (291; 3-6) and Midland Park High School (483; 7-12). Public school students from the borough, and all of Bergen County, are eligible to attend the secondary education programs offered by the Bergen County Technical Schools, which include the Bergen County Academies in Hackensack, and the Bergen Tech campus in Teterboro or Paramus. The district offers programs on a shared-time or full-time basis, with admission based on a selective application process and tuition covered by the student's home school district. Eastern Christian Elementary School is a private Christian day school that serves students in pre-kindergarten through fourth grade as part of the Eastern Christian School Association, which also includes a middle school located in Wyckoff and Eastern Christian High School in North Haledon
