CROSS ROADS

BERGENFIELD l-lI6l-l SCHOOL
BERGENFIELDNEWJERSEY
At the time of the American Revolution the town of Bergenfield was known as Schraalen-
burgh, which is derived from the Dutch, and means a barren knoll or hill. The oldest road in
town was the Schraalenburgh Road, once called King's Highway and now Washington Avenue.
On Schraalenburgh Road stood the old stone house lpictured above? which was then used as a
tavern. About the year l907 the old stone house was demolished, and a frame dwelling house
was erected on the site a little to the southwest of the intersecting roads. In 1923 the
property was acquired by the Bergenfield Board of Education and the house was moved in order
to provide for the erection of the Harding School which, with recent additions, has become our
junior-senior high school building.
