Genuine Antique Hand-Colored Map
1876
Maker: Walker and Pease.
Antique map from the Atlas of Bergen Co. New Jersey, 1876, by Walker and Pease. Map of Tenafly before it became a borough. Very good overall antique condition with some mild toning. Approximately 16 x 26 inches to the neatline.
From Wikipedia: Tenafly was incorporated as a borough on January 24, 1894, by an act of the New Jersey Legislature from portions of the now-defunct Palisades Township, based on the results of a referendum held the previous day. 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.
