Where's the rest of the history?
The "history" of this town is missing critical periods of the 20th Century, and particularly the postwar decades when suburbanization began in earnest. While most popular histories of the Rockland/Bergen area typically focus almost exclusively on the colonial and Revolutionary War era, the reality is this whole area was nothing but barren farmland until major arteries (bridges, highways) connecting this region to the city were built, which in turn resulted in a mass exodus of people out of NY City into the region. At the turn of the 20th Century, the place was still a frontier; at the end of last century, it was a highly developed suburb of NY City. Surely there are sources covering this rather dramatic transition. Jonathan f1 (talk) 02:58, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
