West Paterson renamed "Woodland Park" New Jersey

West Paterson renamed "Woodland Park "New Jersey

The citizens of West Paterson, located in Passaic County New Jersey voted on November 4, 2008 to change the town name to Woodland Park. The Borough's initials remain "W.P.", not to be mistaken for nearby William Paterson University, also known as "W.P.U.".

Changes Underway.

As reported by the Record Newspaper last week, workers began placing "Woodland Park" decals on municipal vehicles. Borough employees have been instructed, as of January 1, to answer the phone using the new name. The borough's Web site www.westpaterson.com will also be revamped to reflect the new name change, redirecting all visitors to a new Web address for Woodland Park.

Education

Students in the public school, from kindergarten through eighth grade, are educated by the West Paterson School District. The elementary schools are Beatrice Gilmore School, Charles Olbon School and Memorial School. Children in grades 9 - 12 attend Passaic Valley Regional High school, which serves students from Little Falls Township, Totowa and Woodland Park.

The U.S. Census estimates its population for 2007 to be 11,568.

Location

Woodland Park is located in the northeastern section of New Jersey, about 20 miles west of New York City and nestled between Totowa Borough, Little Falls, Paterson and the City of Clifton. Within minutes are: Interstate 80 in the northern edge and U.S. 46 along the southern border. Its postal zip code of 07424 is shared with Little Falls.

Woodland Park offers a mixture of residential, retail, office, industrial and commercial properties. As a local Realtor I would enjoy showing you properties in the area.

A visit to Garret Mountain Reserve with 568 acres and the historical Lambert Castle would offer enjoyment for everyone.
