Brief
History
This
is Rockleigh, New Jersey—population approximately

district, and lie adjacent to the historic district of Palisades,
New York. We are traditionally connected to this area by Rockleigh

In addition, landscapers’ trailers are not to be left on any Borough Street unattended or unattached. Homeowners/landscapers are not to blow leaves onto streets, public property or that of your neighbors. (As per Borough Ordinance 07-07). Thank you for your cooperation. |
