What to do...
Saddle River was incorporated on November 22, 1894, from portions of Orvil Township, based on the results of a referendum held three days earlier. The borough was formed during the "Boroughitis" phenomenon then sweeping through Bergen County, in which 26 boroughs were formed in the county in 1894 alone.
The borough is named after the Saddle River, which flows through the borough and is a tributary of the Passaic River.
