History

[edit]

In 1888, Henry J. Appert, a Swiss immigrant, drained a bog for the cultivation of onions and celery. The business—Allendale Produce Gardens, or the "celery farm" to locals—supplied wholesale markets and Campbell Soup Company. Allendale was formed on November 8, 1894, from portions of Franklin Township (remainder now Wyckoff), Hohokus Township (remainder now Mahwah) and Orvil Township (remainder now Waldwick).[23][24]

The borough was formed during the "Boroughitis" phenomenon then sweeping through Bergen County, in which 26 boroughs were formed in the county in 1894 alone.[25] The borough was named for Joseph Warner Allen, a surveyor for the Erie Railroad.[26]

Babe Ruth would frequently vacation at the Allendale Hotel, which remains in use as a rooming house.[27][28]

[edit]

Local government

[edit]
Allendale municipal building

Allendale is governed under the borough form of New Jersey municipal government, which is used in 218 municipalities (of the 564) statewide, making it the most common form of government in New Jersey.[44] The governing body is comprised of a mayor and a borough council, with all positions elected at-large on a partisan basis as part of the November general election. A mayor is elected directly by the voters to a four-year term of office. The borough council includes six members elected to serve three-year terms on a staggered basis, with two seats coming up for election each year in a three-year cycle.[6] The borough form of government used by Allendale is a "weak mayor / strong council" government in which council members act as the legislative body with the mayor presiding at meetings and voting only in the event of a tie. The mayor can veto ordinances subject to an override by a two-thirds majority vote of the council. The mayor makes committee and liaison assignments for council members, and most appointments are made by the mayor with the advice and consent of the council.[45][46] The mayor and borough council conduct all of their business during monthly meetings open to the public. All Legislative powers of the borough are exercised by the mayor and council. These powers can take the form of a resolution, ordinance or proclamation. The mayor presides at all meetings of the council. At Workshop meetings, the governing body discusses and debates proposed resolutions, ordinances and other policy matters. These meetings are open to the public, and members of the public may participate at an appropriate time at the meeting.[47]

As of 2024, the mayor of Allendale is Republican Amy E. Wilczynski, whose term of office ends December 31, 2026. Members of the Borough Council are Council President Matthew J. O'Toole (R, 2025), Joseph Daloisio (R, 2026), Elizabeth C. "Liz" Homan (R, 2024), Susanne C. Lovisolo (R, 2024), Edward O'Connell (R, 2026) and Tyler Yaccarino (R, 2025).[3][48][49][50][51][52]

In January 2019, the borough council appointed Matthew O'Toole to fill the seat expiring in December 2019 that had been held by Ari Bernstein until he resigned to take office as mayor.[53]

In January 2015, the borough council selected Liz Homan to fill Liz White's vacant council seat on an interim basis until the November 2015 general election.[54]
