A North Jersey borough since 1922
Lincoln Park is a relatively young borough of North Jersey, founded on March 11, 1922, out of a portion of historic Pequannock Township. Pequannock was founded by Dutch farmers in the 1690s, and this massive agricultural community was divided into several new boroughs from 1804 to 1923, with Lincoln Park being the penultimate community to form. This borough, named for President Abraham Lincoln, retains much of its rural character, as large swathes of its boundaries consist of nature preserves and other untouched lands. Its housing stock reflects the town’s history, as the Boonton Turnpike is lined with small family homes dating to the 1920s, while the town’s side-streets are home to Colonial Revival, Cape Cod, and ranch-style homes built during the suburbanization of the 1950s. These homes sell for between $400,000 and $500,000, significantly less expensive than the county average, and marking Lincoln Park as a viable alternative to its more expensive neighbors.
