Information About

Eastwood, New Jersey




Eastwood was formed from the old Washington Township in the area on the west of present-day River Vale and east of Westwood . As stated in ''History of Bergen County, New Jersey,'' (Volume I, page 302) "Eastwood caught the borough fever in March, 1986, and was organized as a borough, but in a short time it became tired of borough life and returned to Washington township from which it was set off." Eastwood's demise made it the only borough in Bergen County to be dissolved after its creation.
