Pompton Lakes was established on February 26, 1895, from portions ofPompton Township,based on the results of a referendum held three days earlier.[25]The borough was named for thePompton people,a sub-tribe ofNative Americanswho lived in the area.[26]It was the first borough to be formed in Passaic County as part of the "boroughitis"that had struck the state at the time. Pompton Lakes did not acquire territory from more than onetownship,which would have entitled the borough to a seat on the County'sBoard of Chosen Freeholders.[27]

An outer-ring suburb ofNew York City,Pompton Lakes is located approximately 20 miles (32 km) northwest ofMidtown Manhattan.From the higher mountains in and around the borough one can see theNew York skyline.Three rivers, theRamapo,PequannockandWanaque,run through the borough, which historically provided much of the energy for various industries in the borough. In the mid-20th century, Pompton Lakes served as a local shopping destination, but lost its status asshopping mallsopened in the area in the 1970s and 1980s.

History

edit

Dutch settlersbegan to settle in the area that is now Pompton Lakes in the 1680s, purchasing farmland from the localLenapeNative Americans.[28]

The presence ofiron oreand the availability ofhydropowerwere initial catalysts for the early development of thePomptonarea. An ironworks was constructed in the early 1700s on theRamapo Riverat the site of the current Pompton Lake dam, which produced munitions for theFrench and Indian War,theRevolutionary War,and theWar of 1812.

Pomptonwas situated along themain north–south routeduring theRevolutionary War,and as such theContinental Armypassed through often. Casparus Schuyler, a member of the prominentSchuyler family,owned atavernin the town that became known as the Yellow Tavern or the Yellow Cottage, and the various army encampments in the area supplied much of the business.[29]

GeneralGeorge Washingtonand his army stayed in thePomptonarea twice during the course of the war, and he visited the Yellow Tavern both times.[30]He first visited on July 11, 1777, when he met with localironmasterRobert Erskineat the tavern.François-Jean de Chastellux,a major general in theFrench Expeditionary Forceled by GeneralRochambeau,visited the Yellow Tavern on his way fromPhiladelphiatoNew Englandin December 1780, and remarked on his experience there in an account published later.[29]Washington returned to the tavern on March 30, 1782, as he traveled north with his wifeMartha.[29]During this time, it was serving as the winter headquarters of ColonelPhillip Van Cortlandt.The tavern was torn down around 1900 to widen the adjacent road, and the site is noted by a historical marker.

Pompton Townshipwas formed shortly after the Revolution, in 1797. During theCivil War,knives, saws, nails, and springs forrailroad carswere manufactured at the Pompton Ironworks. TheMorris Canal,completed in 1832, was linked to the town via the Pompton Feeder, which barges used to supply coal toblast furnaces.[31]Despite this, Pompton remained predominantly rural through the 19th century, and various summer resorts aroundPompton Lakeserved vacationingNew Yorkers.TheNew York, Susquehanna and Western Railroadopened a local train station in the late 1870s, driving further development in the town. In 1895, Pompton Lakes voted to split from Pompton Township, and theboroughwas officially incorporated on February 26 of that year.[25]

The population of Pompton Lakes increased during the early 1900s, due to the rapid growth of local employers like the German Artistic Weaving Company and the Smith Powder Works. The latter company was purchased in 1905 byE.I. du Pont de Nemours and Companyand formed the basis of the DuPont Pompton Lakes Works, which operated in the borough until 1994.[32]

In 1923, Joseph "Doc" Bier opened a "health farm"in Pompton Lakes, where boxers such asPancho VillaandJimmy McLarnintrained. In 1935,Joe Louisbegan training at the camp, and continued to use the camp until his retirement in 1949. He prepared for his famed bout withMax Schmelingthere, and often invited local children to watch him practice. During his time in the borough he held boxing exhibitions at the camp to raise $2,600 for the purchase of an ambulance and an additional $2,000 to help build a police communications tower.[33]The camp closed in the 1950s.

In 1938,Reaction Motorssuccessfully designed and perfected the world's firstregenerative coolingrocket at a basement laboratory in a building in downtown Pompton Lakes. The technology they invented made liquid-fueled rockets capable of burning for long enough periods to be practical, and all future liquid-fueled rockets would build off this technology. The company tested this rocket at Lake Inez in the borough, not far from the laboratory it was built in.[28]

Decades-old industrial pollution and its connection to cancer and other illness among residents in a section of the borough was the subject of a week-long front-page investigative series inThe Recordnewspaper in February 2018. The four-part series documented ground and water pollution that has impacted hundreds of homes surrounding aDuPontmunitions plant that had operated for decades in the area, and the impact on the health of nearby residents exposed to the pollutants.[34]

Geography

edit

According to theUnited States Census Bureau,the borough had a total area of 3.16 square miles (8.19 km2), including 2.89 square miles (7.48 km2) of land and 0.27 square miles (0.71 km2) of water (8.67%).[1][2]

The borough borders the municipalities ofBloomingdale,WanaqueandWayneinPassaic County;OaklandinBergen County;andRiverdaleandPequannockinMorris County.[35][36][37]

Much of the borough sits in a valley formed by the confluence of theRamapo,Pequannock,andWanaquerivers, which leads to common flooding events, the most recent of which was in2011.A few taller hills ring the valley, including Federal Hill, which is notable as the site of thePompton Mutiny,a revolt ofContinental Armytroops that occurred there on January 20, 1781, under the command of ColonelIsrael Shreve.[38]
