History

Demarest, only 2.5 square miles, is a small, affluent, friendly bedroom community just 8 miles from the G.W.B., nestled around the Tenafly Brook Duck Pond and the 19th century railroad station. It is bordered on the north by Closter, the south by Cresskill, the west by Haworth, and the east by Alpine. Most new residents are professionals or business executives who like the small town charm, peaceful atmosphere, fine schools, and the simple commute to NYC. 
 
Demarest was formed by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 8, 1903, from portions of Harrington Township and Palisades Township. The borough was named for the Demarest family and for the Demarest train station, which had in turn been named for Ralph S. Demarest, who was a director of the Northern Railroad of New Jersey that built the station and represented the area in both the New Jersey General Assembly and the New Jersey Senate in the mid-19th century.
