Montclair and Caldwell

Located in western Essex County, Caldwell was named in honor of the Reverend James Caldwell, the fighting parson of the revolution. Caldwell is also the birthplace of President Grover Cleveland, the only President born in New Jersey. A 42-acre park, named after Cleveland, features tennis courts, baseball fields and playgrounds.

As the commercial and residential center of the "Horseneck Tract," Caldwell was incorporated with the surrounding areas to form a township in 1798. Caldwell is a well-established, residential community with a vibrant downtown business center. The real estate market is comprised of historic colonial homes, Cape Cod style residences, contemporary properties and spacious ranch-style homes located on large, secluded estates with magnificent landscapes.

Situated on the highest point of Essex County, North Caldwell’s rolling hills and wooded terrain have long made it a desirable residential community. Other than two very small strips of stores located on the northern and southern ends of town, Caldwell is made up almost entirely of single-family, owner-occupied homes. North Caldwell has its own community pool.

North Caldwell has two elementary schools and is part of the West Essex Regional School District servicing the communities of Fairfield, North Caldwell, Essex Fells and Roseland. Both the West Essex Junior High and West Essex High Schools are located in North Caldwell.

West Caldwell is essentially suburban in nature; a community with a balanced economy, represented by a substantially developed industrial, commercial and residential base. There are three main industrial areas and four shopping centers featuring approximately 70 stores. The Garden State Parkway, the Lincoln and Holland Tunnels, downtown Manhattan and Newark Airport are easily reached by interstates 280, 80 and State Route 46.

The residential development consists principally of single-family, owner-occupied homes. There are six parks, two community pools and an excellent public library. West Caldwell administers a joint recreation program for its citizens and the citizens of Caldwell.

Caldwell proper is part of the Caldwell-West Caldwell School District, a joint system consisting of four elementary schools, Grover Cleveland Middle School and James Caldwell High School. The middle school and Lincoln Elementary are located in Caldwell.
