To the west, the Bergen County suburbs are defined by large water bodies like the Oradell Reservoir and specialized institutions including the Seton Academy and Knickerbocker Country Club. This era of development is marked by the presence of the Palisades Interstate Parkway and the Major Deegan Expressway, showing how post-war transportation infrastructure began to shape the commute between communities like Tenafly, Englewood, and the city. Family historians will find significant detail in the numerous cemeteries, including Woodlawn Cemetery and Brookside Cem, alongside dozens of local primary and secondary schools.
