Glen Rock, NJ

Glen Rock is named for a 570-ton boulder, believed to have been deposited by a glacier, that stands at the northern end of Rock Road , the town's main street. Called Pamackapuka, or Stone from Heaven, by the Delaware Indians, it served as a base for Indian signal fires and later as a trail marker for colonists.

In 1921 a bronze plaque was installed on the rock in memory of residents who died in World War I, and it was declared a landmark by the State Office of Historic Sites in 1964. Five years later, on the borough's 75th anniversary, a time capsule was buried just behind it to be unearthed in 2044.

When Glen Rock was incorporated in 1894, two railroad lines through the borough carried fruits and vegetables from local farms to the markets in Paterson , N.J. , and Suffern , N.Y. The railroad is now a drawing card for the many residents who work in Manhattan .

Glen Rock is almost entirely residential, and 99 percent of the homes are owner-occupied single-family dwellings.  A small industrial district takes up 2 percent of the borough's 2.8 square miles. When the industrial district replaced the last farm in Glen Rock 10 years ago, the borough had one of the highest tax rates in the state, and officials believed industry was needed to offset future increases.
