From Wikipedia: Tenafly was incorporated as a borough on January 24, 1894 from portions of the now-defunct Palisades Township. The borough was the first formed during the "Boroughitis" phenomenon then sweeping through Bergen County, in which 26 boroughs were formed in the county in 1894 alone. Portions of Palisades Township were acquired based on legislation approved on April 8, 1897. Demarest was formed by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 8, 1903, from portions of Harrington Township and Palisades Township. New Milford was authorized to be incorporated as a borough on March 11, 1922, from what remained of Palisades Township. With the creation of New Milford, Palisades Township (which had been created in 1871) was dissolved.
