The territory comprising Norwood was originally settled about 1670 by a dozen or more families mostly from Holland, who purchased the land under the Tappan Patent. About that time a grant was also given by Philip Carteret, Governor of the Province of East Jersey, during the reign of King Charles II of England. The Lenni Lenape Native Americans roamed the valley.

 

The name Norwood emanated from the old description North-Woods. It was a part of Harrington Township, which was formed in 1775 from the northernmost portions of both Hackensack Township and New Barbadoes Township, stretching from the Hudson River in the east to the Saddle River in the west.

 

In 1840, the portions of Harrington Township west of the Hackensack River were taken away to create Washington Township. At that point, Harringtown Township was somewhat in the form of a square measuring across each way about five miles, bounded on the north by Rockland County, New York; east by the Hudson River, south by Hackensack Township and west by the Hackensack River. At that time, Norwood, Northvale (once called Neuvy), Old Tappan, Demarest, Closter and Harrington Park formed Harrington Township.

 

On March 14, 1905, Norwood seceded from its parent Harrington Township.

The Bergen Performing Arts Center (bergenpac) offers world class entertainment just around the corner. The Bergen Performing Arts Center (bergenPAC) was conceived in the echoing corridors, empty rehearsal rooms and grand performance hall of the former John Harms Center, which closed to the shock and heartbreak of Bergen County's large community of culture lovers, families and students. In April 2003, a group of concerned citizens, headed by Englewood resident Frank Huttle III, formed bergenPAC and developed a business plan to forge a true public/private partnership, engaging all sectors of the community and bringing together corporations, governments and residents, each adding the committment and support necessary to revitalize this unique arts center.
