In 1995, the Historic New Bridge Landing Park Commission was established by the
New Jersey Legislature to coordinate and implement governmental and private
development policies and other activities incidental to the preservation maintenance,
restoration and interpretation of the historic riverfront village surrounding New Bridge,
thereby optimizing its educational and recreational benefit to the public. Soon thereafter,
a General Management Plan was prepared, setting forth the interpretive themes,
management objectives and future planning needs.

The historic village spans the Hackensack River at the intersection of four municipalities
(River Edge, New Milford, Teaneck and Hackensack) and encompasses municipal,
county and state owned resources. Representatives from each government entity as
well as from the Bergen County Historical Society and the Blauvelt-Demarest
Foundation serve on the Commission. The Commission has successfully combined
money, expertise, from a multitude of public and private sources to leverage restoration,
land acquisition, and site enhancement and has in a very short time shown itself to be a
model for success.

Initiative Partners: River Edge Borough; New Milford Borough; Teaneck Township;
Bergen County; New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Parks
and Forestry; Bergen County Historical Society; and Blauvelt-Demarest Foundation.
