So You're Thinking Of Living In...
Harrington Park, NJ
	Harrington Township , from which Harrington Park was formed in 1904, was originally part of Old Hackensack Township from which it separated in 1775. Its earliest known settlers were the Harring family, and the earliest available reference to any individual is to Peter Harring who established a residence here in the early 17th century. A son, John, was born to the Harring family Dec. 20, 1633. Also prominently mentioned in early histories of the area are the Westervelts, the Blauvelts, the Ackermans, and the Ferdons. In 1836, Harrington Township was reduced by half when Washington Township was formed. Contemporary histories around 1880 say that nothing marred the rural seclusion of Harrington Township except the villages of Neuvy, Norwood, Rivervale and Randall, Closter, Frankfort, Demarest and Alpine. The area was served by the Northern Railroad of New Jersey and by the New York and Albany Rail Road . The first reference to any school in these parts was one in 1726, but it was not until 1870 that there is any reference to a public school. Today, the Harrington Park School serves public school students in grades K through 8 as part of the Harrington Park School District, with an enrollment of 700 students as of the 2005-06 school year. Public school students in grades 9-12 attend Northern Valley Regional High School at Old Tappan which serves students from Harrington Park , Northvale, Norwood and Old Tappan. The high school is part of the Northern Valley Regional High School District , which also serves students from Closter, Demarest and Haworth at Northern Valley Regional High School
