Bogota

At the turn of the century, even though with a population of less than 400, Bogota boasted many companies that offered various employment opportunities. Some of these companies included The Bogota Building & Loan Association, The Bogota Water & Light Company, The Riverside Planning Mill, and The Bogota Paper Company. In April 1898, the Bergen Traction Company was granted a franchise to run a trolley terminating at River Road. This trolley connected with Leonia, Englewood, Fort Lee, and the 125th Street Ferry.

The Borough of Bogota, bordered to the north and east by Teaneck, to the south by Ridgefield Park, and to the west by the Hackensack River, contains several well-kept parks for recreation and a private swim club. With easy access to routes 4, 17, 80, and 46, any part of northern New Jersey is easily accessible from Bogota and is only 15 miles from New York City.
