Midland Township, Bergen County, New Jersey (Historical)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Midland Township was a Township in Bergen County, New Jersey, in the United States, that was formed in 1871 from portions of New Barbadoes Township.
Midland Township was hit hard by Boroughitis in 1894, when four boroughs were formed from portions of the township (and other townships, as indicated): Delford (also included portions of Palisades Township; name changed to Oradell in 1920), Maywood, Riverside (name changed to River Edge in 1930). Paramus left the fold on April 4, 1922.
On November 5, 1929, the remnants of Midland Township became Rochelle Park.
