We intend to keep this

first week is a postcard view of Lincoln School
Lincoln School is one of Rutherford's neighborhood WaSL (Washington, Sylvan, Lincoln) schools. It was created in 1913 as a sister school to Washington (also 1913) and is somewhat identical in form. It is addressed on Montross and sited between West Pierrepont and Vreeland Aves. It actually sits on part of one the old Vreeland land holdings sited along the riverside. It was originally built to hold aprox. 250 students. Many residents remember (and contributed to) the quant outdoor amphitheater in the back that was lost during the recent expansion of the school. |

A new history book of Rutherford.
Rutherford:
A Brief History is a newly published book describing Rutherford’s rise from 1669 into the Twentieth Century.
It is the first stand alone, indexed historic reference of the borough and is written by local historian William Neumann.
The book's story of Rutherford has been described as "It was a homeland for the Leni-Lenape Indians before it
was settled by tenacious Dutch immigrants. Two centuries later, in 1881, Rutherford, New Jersey, became an independent borough—the
first in Bergen County. |
