New Bridge Landing station


New Bridge Landing, signed as New Bridge Landing at River Edge, is an NJ Transit rail station on the Pascack Valley Line. The station is located at Kinderkamack Road and Grand Avenue in River Edge, in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States. Along with the River Edge station, it is one of two stations in the borough. With the addition of "at River Edge" to the station's name, NJ Transit now recognizes the station as being in River Edge; when the station was originally called North Hackensack, NJT regarded the station as being in neighboring Hackensack. The station was built in 1870, as part of the northern extension of the New Jersey and New York Railroad from Hackensack's station at Essex Street. The station depot was demolished in 1978 and replaced by a shelter.
The station is named for the nearby tide mill hamlet New Bridge Landing, where George Washington and Thomas Paine crossed the narrows of the Hackensack River in his retreat after the loss of Fort Washington during the New York and New Jersey campaign in 1776.
