From the Rural to the Industrial – Ramsey

RAMSEY, 3.8 miles (340 alt., 3,258 pop.), is a shipping center for dairy farmers and the residence of commuters to New York.

South of Ramsey the highway has four lanes of concrete with a center parkway.

At 6.6 miles is the junction with a paved road.

Left here to SADDLE RIVER, 1 miles 150 alt., 657 pop.), a country town supporting a polo team in the Bergen County League. A tradition is that the settlement was named by two Scottish land speculators, Captain Nichols and Richard Stillwell, who bought several thousand acres from the Indians. Both saw the strong likeness of the stream to Saddle Burn, a brook in Argyllshire.

Two recently developed areas of ultramodern cottages with cobalt shutters and scarlet roofs are R. at the northern entrance to Hohokus.
