The borough has been one of the state's highest-income communities. Based on data from theAmerican Community Survey for 2013–2017, Glen Rock residents had amedian household income of $162,443, ranked 6th in the state among municipalities with more than 10,000 residents, more than double the statewide median of $76,475.[21]
Glen Rock was voted one of the best places to live in New Jersey for its low crime rate, good schools, close proximity toNew York City and its high property values, including in 2018, whenNiche ranked it the 19th best place to live in New Jersey.[22]
Glen Rock was formed on September 14, 1894, from portions ofRidgewood Township andSaddle River Township during the "Boroughitis" phenomenon then sweeping through Bergen County, in which 26 boroughs were formed in the county in 1894 alone.[23][24][25] The main impetus for the break from Ridgewood Township was the decision to have Glen Rock students attend a new school closer to the center of Ridgewood instead of their one-room schoolhouse located at the intersection of Ackerman Avenue and Rock Road.[26] Originally, the borough was to be named "South Ridgewood", but the name was changed to Glen Rock before the proposal for the borough was submitted. Both the origin of the name Glen Rock and the cause of it becoming the borough's name are unclear.[27]
The borough was settled around theGlen Rock, a largeboulder in a small valley (glen), from which the borough gets its name.[28][29] The rock, aglacial erratic weighing in at 570 short tons (520 t) and located where Doremus Avenue meets Rock Road, is believed to have been carried to the site by aglacier that picked up the rock 15,000 years ago nearPeekskill, New York, and carried it for 20 miles (32 km) to its present location. TheLenapeNative Americans called the boulder "Pamachapuka" (meaning "stone from heaven" or "stone from the sky") and used it for signal fires and as a trail marker.[26][30][31]
The borough was the site of one of Bergen County's most serious public transportation accidents. In 1911, atrolley operator for the North Jersey Rapid Transit Company, one day away from retirement, died in a crash with an opposing trolley around the intersection of Prospect and Grove Streets that was caused by signal problems. In addition to the death of the opposing trolley operator, 12 people were injured. This crash in part hastened the demise of this transportation mode which ran fromElmwood Park, New Jersey, toSuffern, New York, and competed with theErie Railroad. The right of way for this trolley line was purchased by thePublic Service Enterprise Group and is still visible today.[32][33]
According to theUnited States Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 2.72 square miles (7.04 km2), including 2.70 square miles (7.00 km2) of land and 0.01 square miles (0.04 km2) of water (0.51%).[5][11]
