HISTORY
The borough of Palisades Park was created by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 22, 1899, from portions of Ridgefield Township. A portion of its area was annexed by the neighboring borough of Fort Lee in April 1909. The borough was named for its location atop the New Jersey Palisades. Palisades Park, 1.21 square miles, is greatly diversified consisting of many ethnic and cultural heritages with the charm one expects to find in a small town.
Education
The Palisades Park Public School District serves students in kindergarten through twelfth grade. As of the 2014–15 school year, the district, comprising three schools, had an enrollment of 1,666 students and 144.7 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.5:1. Schools in the district (with 2014–15 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics) are Dr. Charles R. Smith Early Childhood Center with 364 students in grades K–1, Lindbergh Elementary School with 710 students in grades 2–7 and Palisades Park High School with 529 students in grades 8–12.
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.

NJ Transit provides bus service between the borough and the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Midtown Manhattan on the 127, 154, 155, 157, 166 and 168 routes, to Jersey City on the 83 route, with local service offered on the 751 and 755 bus lines.
