In the mid-19th century, Tenafly was a small Dutch-settled farming community located along the Hudson River, west of the Palisades.
The completion of the George Washington Bridge in 1931 made the journey to Manhattan more convenient.
In 1894, the village broke away from Palisades Township and received borough status.
Once the railroad started running through the village around 1860, Tenafly developed into an attractive growing neighborhood as well as a summer retreat for wealthy professionals.
