State 23 skirts the eastern fringe of VERONA (360 alt., 7,160 pop.),
in the valley between the First and Second Watchungs. Sparse thickets are
clumped along the road (R) ; L. are the "model homes" of the borough
– trim little white, green-shuttered, frame dwellings of the so-called
Colonial style. The Verona area was owned by Caleb Hetfield, a Tory who
took no chances on the outcome of the struggle and sold his holdings before the Revolutionaries had the opportunity to confiscate them. They later
became the property of Christian Bone, a Hessian who deserted German
Gorge to fight for the American uprising.
Spread out at the foot of the wooded escarpment at 8.3 miles (L) are the
buildings of OVERBROOK HOSPITAL, the Essex County institution for the
of the mentally diseased.
