Polifly Road, this park’s easterly line, was the first public road on Polifly Ridge, from Rutherford to Hackensack. It was projected in 1682 by Capt. John Berry, then Highway Commissioner, and was laid out in March, 1707.

Hasbrouck Heights was part of the 11,500 acres purchased in 1669 by Capt. Berry from Gov. Carteret and the Indians of this region.
