Hackensack Township was divided into three parts, each stretching from the Hudson River on the west to the Hackensack River in the east:
The new Township was quickly subdivided. The implementation by the New Jersey Legislature of a new Borough Act served to encourage the creation of new municipalities, most formed from portions of two (or more) Townships. Palisades Township survived for a half century after this new legislation, and the case of " Boroughitis " it fomented. In 1894, five boroughs were created from within Palisades Township (and portions of other townships, as indicated): Tenafly , Delford (later changed to Oradell; also included portions of Harrington Township ), Cresskill (with a portion of Cresskill taken in 1903 to from Alpine ), Bergenfield (also created from portions of Englewood Township) and Schraalenburgh (changed name to Dumont in 1928; also included portions of Harrington Township). In 1895, Englewood Cliffs was created from sections of both Englewood Township and Palisades Township. In 1898, a portion of Schraalenburgh was returned to Palisades Township. Demarest was formed in 1903 from portions of both Palisades and Harrington Townships. In 1922, the remainder of Palisades Township was used to form New Milford . With the creation of the Borough of New Milford, Palisades Township was dissolved. SOURCE
