History: |
Cresskill has much history within its 2 square miles. Camp
Merritt was built during WWI as a major Army Distribution
site. The monument which stands tall at the intersection of
Madison Avenue & Knickerbocker Road is a Memorial and
serves as a famous marker. Conveniently located to major highways
makes this town very desirable. The Borough of Cresskill is
special in its blend of people and its townspeople are proud
to call it home. |
