Upper Saddle River, New JerseyWelcome to Upper Saddle River, New Jersey! Upper Saddle River was incorporated in 1894 when it was basically a farming community consisting of apple orchards, strawberry fields and dairy farms. The quiet beauty of this lovely community remains as much a treasure to the current residents as it had been for the generations which have preceded them. You'll love living in Upper Saddle River if you enjoy trees, quiet summer nights, looking at the homes & yards, one more beautiful that the next. If your a nature lover, you will love the Saddle River, which is home to brook trout, large mouth bass and sunfish as well as numerous birds. Upper Saddle River was a late bloomer. Its major growth period did not begin until the late 1950's and didn't peak until the late 60's. Before that time Upper Saddle River was considered "the sticks" by many people. Hardy Europeans made their way to the Saddle River Valley in the very early days of the colonization of America. They hunted & farmed to feed their families, and it remained a farm community for more than 250 years. George Washington marched troops up the East Saddle Road during the Revolution, and there are still a number of buildings in town that date from that era. In addition to the farms there were a number of mills situated along the branches of the Saddle River. Upper Saddle River was primarily an agricultural community until after World War II. After the war however, people began moving out of the cities and suburbs were created all over the United States. Upper Saddle River grew dramatically form that time until recent years when the population stabilized. Much of the beauty of Upper Saddle River today can be traced back to the vision of the town "fathers" who argued that strict zoning would produce a desirable place to live. The farms have disappeared and the rural nature of Upper Saddle River has changed, but the homes, the trees, the landscaped yards, the schools and the river itself to continue to make Upper Saddle River a unique and desirable place to live. Upper Saddle River's facilities include: 2 local parks, 2 public playgrounds, 8 athletic fields, 2 public tennis courts and 1 private swimming pool.
