If you aren’t from New Jersey, or you have spent little time in the Garden State, you may not be too acquainted with some of the peculiarly named cities found round the state. Indeed, with 566 incorporated communities, New Jersey has no shortage of rare named locales including, Hoboken, Hackensack, Teaneck, Wanaque, Ho-Ho-Kus, and others. Let’s have a look at the history of this small community.
With 70 communities, Bergen County is New Jersey’s most populated county with just below 1,000,000 residents. The county is found just west of New York and the cities which comprise the county are what many call bedroom communities for the town employees who make the trip to Manhattan. Indeed, found just seventeen miles west of Long Island is the city of Ho-Ho-Kus, where an enormous portion of the folks that have settled in the city make the daily trek to the town on a train, bus, or passenger vehicle. The name Ho-Ho-Kus is a reasonably massive puzzle too.
Indeed, there are at least 6 different reasons for the origins of’Ho-Ho-Kus’, but none are classic. A lot of the current city saw its expansion in the twentieth century thru the founding of a railroad station. A walking tour of the business district reveals to visitors enthralling shops, restaurants, the train station, and an attractive library. A state significant landmark, The Hermitage, is found in the borough and it is well noted for having been visited by General George Washington in the Revolutionary War.
The manse is a superb example of domestic Gothic Revival design.
