The talk will cover the boroughs of Allendale and Ramsey, their formation from Hohokus Township and some of the causes of "boroughitis." Edwards will also discuss some of the things that make the boroughs unique, like the Celery Farm, the Fell house, the Old Stone House, and the influence of the Paterson and Ramapo Railroad on the growth of the boroughs.
He'll also go into some of the main reasons that these boroughs split from Hohokus Township -- like local schools, roads and taxes, and the growth of both school districts from a single one room school to two of the highest rated school systems in the state.
