Geocache Description:

We love New Jersey which is why we started a blog about our great state. We also love geocaching. Suddenly a flash of inspiration. A series of caches in alphabetical order in towns that start with each letter!! Ambitious yes, but equally fun! Cache is in a nice nook just a step off the busy sidewalk. Bring your own pen. Use stealth.

Glen Rock was formed on September 14, 1894, from portions of Ridgewood Township and Saddle River Township, "that being the year the county went crazy on boroughs." Glen Rock was settled around an enormous rock left by retreating glaciers in a small valley (glen). From a 1985 article in The New York Times, "Glen Rock is named for a 570-ton boulder, believed to have been deposited by a glacier, that stands at the northern end of Rock Road, the town's main street. Called Pamachapura, or Stone from Heaven, by the Delaware (Lenape) Indians, it served as a base for Indian signal fires and later as a trail marker for colonists."




Glen Rock is served by two separate train stations which you can see near the GZ. The first is at Glen Rock (Main Line) on the Main Line and second is the Glen Rock (Boro Hall) on the Bergen County Line.
