From Wikipedia: Palisades Township was a township that existed in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States. The township was in existence from 1871 to 1922. Five boroughs were created from within Palisades Township: Tenafly , Delford (now Oradell; also included portions of Harrington Township), Cresskill, Bergenfield (also created from portions of Englewood Township) and Schraalenburgh (changed name to Dumont in 1928; also included portions of Harrington Township). On May 10, 1895, Englewood Cliffs was created from sections of both Englewood Township and Palisades Township. Demarest was formed on April 8, 1903, from portions of both Palisades and Harrington Townships. On March 7, 1898, portions of the Borough of Schraalenburgh were annexed to the township. On March 11, 1922, New Milford was formed from the remaining portions of Palisades Township. With the creation of the Borough of New Milford, Palisades Township was dissolved.
