Haledon

A small town located in Passaic County, NJ. Haledon was developed along the northern side of the industrial city of Paterson, New Jersey. It was settled by farmers with colonial Dutch heritage including the Van Riper, Berdan, Banta, Post and Zabriskie families. Prior to the Civil War they were joined by the Roe, Leonard and Stansfield families, who helped establish St. Mary's Episcopal Church and leading businesses including a general store and the Leonard Wax Company.

The area became a streetcar suburb of Paterson in the years following the Civil War, with the central area known as Haledon, while the area surrounding the large pond along High Mountain Road was called Oldham. This town is the place to live in, because its way safer than Paterson. It borders Paterson, North Haledon, Prospect Park, and Wayne.

Haledon is a beautiful town.

North Haledon

Rich?We like to pretend we are.You say our houses are worth alot?Maybe.But we have no money to spend.Our taxs are insane for the Highschool that Haledon and prospect park go to for free.Our entertainment is speeding through our 3 mile town and hoping not to get caught by one of the 30 cops we have hired.That or watching the 10 DPW workers work on the baseball fields all day.Yes we are living it up.
