Glen Ridge NJ Real Estate began as a neighborhood within Bloomfield NJ. The communities roots can be traced back to 1666 when sixty-four Connecticut families led by Robert Treat bought land from the Lennilenape Indians and named it New Ark. The name New Ark reflected a covenant to worship freely without persecution.
The territory purchased included the future towns of Bloomfield, Montclair, Belleville, and Nutley. When Bloomfield seceded in 1812, Glen Ridge NJ Real Estate was a section “on the hill” composed mostly of farms and woodlands with the exception of a thriving industrial area along Toney’s Brook in the Glen. Residents “On the Hill” became unhappy with their representation on the Bloomfield Council. In spite of repeated requests to Bloomfield officials, Glen Ridge NJ Real Estate remained uncared for, roads were left unpaved, water and sewer systems were nonexistent, and schools were miles away.
In 1895 Glen Ridge NJ Real Estate was separated from Bloomfield, they marked out the boundaries of a 1.45 square mile area and thus Glen Ridge NJ was born. One thing to note about Glen Ridge NJ Real Estate is the historic pride residents have in their homes. Very rarely will you see a home in need of repairs or painting.
