Tenafly (play /ˈtɛnəflaɪ/) is a borough in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 census, the borough population was 14,488.[6] Tenafly is an affluent suburb of New York City.

The first European settlers in Tenafly were the Dutch, who began to populate the area during the late 17th century. The name "Tenafly" itself is derived from the early-modern Dutch phrase "Tiene Vly" or "Ten Swamps" which was given by Dutch settlers in 1688.[12][12]

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, at the height of the "Boroughitis" phenomenon sweeping through Bergen County at the time.[13][14]

New Jersey Monthly magazine ranked Tenafly as the 65th best place to live in New Jersey in its 2008 rankings of the "Best Places To Live" in New Jersey.[15]

[edit] Geography

Hillside Avenue, c. 1913-1916

Tenafly is located at 40°55′06″N 73°57′02″W / 40.918309°N 73.950521°W / 40.918309; -73.950521 (40.918309,-73.950521). According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 5.184 square miles (13.428 km2), of which, 4.601 square miles (11.917 km2) of it is land and 0.583 square miles (1.510 km2) of it (11.25%) is water.[16][3]

Tenafly's street plan and overall development were largely determined by its hills, its valleys and its tall trees, which give the borough its special charm. The eastern part of the borough is customarily referred to as the "East Hill" for its higher elevation in relation to the rest of the borough. There, the terrain rises dramatically to the east of the downtown area, terminating at the New Jersey Palisades, overlooking the Hudson River. Nearby is the Tenafly Nature Center, located at 313 Hudson Avenue.

[edit] Government

[edit] Local government

Tenafly is governed under a special charter granted by the New Jersey Legislature. This charter retains most aspects of the Borough form of government, with the addition of initiative, referendum, and recall features.[23][24] The government consists of a Mayor and a Borough Council comprising six council members, with all positions elected at large. A Mayor is elected directly by the voters to a four-year term of office, and is eligible for re-election. The Borough Council consists of six members elected to serve three-year terms on a staggered basis, with two seats coming up for election each year.[1] As the legislative body, the Borough Council adopts ordinances and resolutions, decides on appropriations, approves appointments made by the Mayor, determines policy, and establishes the functions of the various departments of the local government. Each Council member is chairperson of one of the six standing committees. The Mayor presides over Council meetings, but only votes in case of a tie, and can cast a veto which can be overridden by a two-thirds vote of the Council.[25]

As of 2012, the Mayor of Tenafly is Peter Rustin, whose term of office ends December 31, 2015. Members of the Tenafly Borough Council are Anthony Barzelatto (2012), Barry Honig (2013), Martha Kerge (2013), Nadia LaMastra (2012), Jon Warms (2014) and Mark Zinna (2014).[25]

[edit] Education

The Tenafly Public Schools serve students from Kindergarten through twelfth grade. Schools in the district (with 2009-10 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics[43]) are four K-5 elementary schools — Mackay School (356 students), Maugham School (380), Smith School (367) and Stillman School (401) — Tenafly Middle School (802) for grades 6-8 and Tenafly High School (1,240) for grades 9-12. Students from Alpine attend Tenafly High School as part of a sending/receiving relationship.[44]

The United States Department of Education awarded Tenafly High School a Blue Ribbon School Award at a special assembly to the Tenafly High School Community on September 20, 2005. Tenafly was the only high school in New Jersey and one of 38 public high schools in the U.S. to receive the 2005 Blue Ribbon School Award.[45]

Tenafly High School was the 3rd-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 322 schools statewide, in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2010 cover story on the state's "Top Public High Schools", after also being ranked 3rd in 2008 out of 316 schools.[46] Schooldigger.com ranked the school as tied for 26th out of 376 public high schools statewide in its 2010 rankings (unchanged from the 2009 rank) which were based on the combined percentage of students classified as proficient or above proficient on the language arts literacy and mathematics components of the High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA).[47]

[edit] Transportation

The former Tenafly Railroad Station, currently a restaurant

Until 1966, Tenafly was served by rail along the Northern Branch, originally to Pavonia Terminal, and later to Hoboken Terminal. Currently, bus service to and from New York City is available via New Jersey Transit (NJT) bus routes 166 to the Port Authority Bus Terminal.[48] Rockland Coaches provides service on Route 14K/14ET from Montvale to the Port Authority Bus Terminal, and to the George Washington Bridge Bus Station on the 9/9A/9T/9TA from Stony Point, New York, the 20/20T from West Nyack, New York and the 84/84L from Rockleigh .[49]

County Route 501, U.S. Route 9W, and the Palisades Interstate Parkway all pass through Tenafly. There are no exits on the Palisades Interstate Parkway in Tenafly; nearest interchanges are Exit 1 in Englewood Cliffs to the south, and Exit 2 in Alpine in the north.

The Northern Branch Corridor Project, a proposal by New Jersey Transit to extend the Hudson Bergen Light Rail from its current terminus northward to two stations in Tenafly, the last of which would be a terminus near the Cresskill town line, has been met with mixed reactions.[50][51] with many residents and officials believing that the negative impact on the town outweigh the benefits[50][52] In November 2010, voters rejected the plan to re-establish rail service to the town in a non-binding referendum.[53]and there is continued resistance to NJT's preferred alternative as described in the plan's December 2011 announcement.[54][55] Despite local opposition, officials in Bergen County asked the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority to support the proposal.[56]
