Wyckoff is a township in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States. As of the United States 2000 Census, the township population was 16,508. It is a primarily white, upper-middle class community outside New York City. Nationwide, Wyckoff ranks 53rd in 100 highest-income places in the United States (with a population of at least 10,000). Statewide, Wyckoff ranks 44th in New Jersey locations by per capita income.

From the mid-18th century, what is now Wyckoff was a community within Franklin Township, which consisted of most of northern Bergen County west of the Saddle River. Starting in the 1840s, several new municipalities were created from portions of Franklin Township, so that today what is now Wyckoff borders eight different communities. Wyckoff was formed as a township by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on November 2, 1926, replacing Franklin Township, based on the results of a referendum held that day. Portions of Wyckoff were ceded to Midland Park based on the results of a referendum held on June 9, 1931."The Story of New Jersey's Civil Boundaries: 1606-1968", John P. Snyder, Bureau of Geology and Topography; Trenton, New Jersey; 1969. p. 89.]

The most commonly given origin for the name Wyckoff, which was the origin accepted by the town committee when the town was established, is that Wyckoff is from the Lenape word "wickoff", meaning high ground, or that it is from "wickok" meaning water. [ [http://www.wyckoff-nj.com/history.html A Brief History of Wyckoff] , Township of Wyckoff. Accessed November 24, 2006.] A less widely held theory is that the town was named for Brooklyn judge Pieter Claesen Wyckoff (1625-1694). The surname comes from the Dutch words "Wyk," meaning parish and "Hof," meaning court. None of these origins is supported with solid historical evidence. The town has 13 churches, one synagogue, five public schools, three volunteer fire stations, and one volunteer ambulance corps.

History

The first known human inhabitants of the area were the Lenni Lenape Native Americans who lived north of the Raritan River and spoke a Munsee dialect of Algonquian. Sicomac, said to mean "resting place for the departed" or "happy hunting ground", is an area of Wyckoff that, according to tradition, was the burial place of many Native Americans, including Chief Oratam of the Ackingshacys, and many stores and buildings there are named after the area's name, including Sicomac Elementary School. [http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=990CE0D91431F93AA25750C0A963958260 If You're Thinking of Living In/Wyckoff; Country Ambiance in Ramapo Foothills] . "The New York Times", March 19, 1995.] Most Native Americans had left by the 19th century, although a small group lived near Clinton Avenue until 1939.

What is today Wyckoff was part of Saddle River Township, which included all of Bergen County west of the Saddle River. Saddle River Township was split up in 1771 with the area containing Wyckoff becoming Franklin Township. By 1755, about 100 families lived in the Franklin Township area, of which, no more than 20 were in what is now Wyckoff. Franklin Township (1771) consisted of what is today Ho-Ho-Kus (seceded 1849), Ridgewood (seceded 1876), Midland Park (seceded 1894), Oakland (seceded 1902), Franklin Lakes (seceded 1922), and Wyckoff. The size of Franklin Township decreased as areas seceded and were incorporated into their own towns. After Franklin Lakes was established in 1922, Franklin Township consisted of only the area known locally as Wyckoff. On November 2, 1926, residents voted (243 positive votes out of 337) to change the name from Franklin Township to the Township of Wyckoff.

The first recorded permanent settlers were John and William Van Voor Haze (Voorhees), who purchased 550 acres (2.2 km²) of land in the area in 1720. Other early settlers (mostly Dutch) included the Van Horns, Terhunes, Ackermans, Quackenbushes, Pulises, and Vanderhoffs. In 1940 the population was just under 4,000 consisting of roughly 100 families with 30% of the land was devoted to farming. By 1969 the number of farms had dropped to 13 covering 3 acres (12,000 m²), 6% of the town. Today only two farms remain: Abma's Farm and Goffle Road Poultry Farm, which is Bergen County's only remaining live market. Rail service by the New Jersey Midland Railway began in 1870. That service was purchased by the New York, Susquehanna and Western Railway, which abruptly ended passenger service in 1966.

The Terhune House is an historic home listed on the National Register of Historic Places, located at 161 Godwin Avenue, that was initially constructed in 1737. [ [http://www.nationalregisterofhistoricplaces.com/NJ/Bergen/state4.html NEW JERSEY - Bergen County] , National Register of Historic Places. Accessed February 20, 2008.]

In 1994, the Vander Platt funeral home prepared the body of Richard Nixon for burial.

It is also the home town to one of America's best known buy band, the Jonas Brothers

Government

Local government

Wyckoff is governed by a Township Committee, which consists of five members elected at large for staggered three-year terms, so that no more than two committee members are elected each year. On January 1, the Township Committee conducts an annual reorganization meeting to organize the government for the new year. The Committee selects a chairperson from among its members who serves as Mayor, and another member to serve as Deputy Mayor. The Mayor chairs meetings of the Township Committee, signs documents on behalf of the Township and performs wedding ceremonies. The Township Committee, as a whole, exercises legislative and executive powers. [ [http://www.wyckoff-nj.com/thtwpcommittee.html Township Committee description] , Township of Wyckoff.

Education

The Wyckoff School District serves public students in Kindergarten through eighth grade.

For the 1998-99 school year, Eisenhower Middle School, the only middle school in the township, was named a "Star School" by the New Jersey Department of Education, the highest honor that a New Jersey school can achieve.

The schools in the district (with 2005-06 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics [ [http://nces.ed.gov/ccd/schoolsearch/school_list.asp?Search=1&DistrictID=3418360 Data for the Wyckoff School District] , National Center for Education Statistics. Accessed April 7, 2008.] ) are four K-5 elementary schools — Coolidge (442 students), Lincoln (432), Sicomac (403) and Washington (443) — and Eisenhower Middle School for grades 6-8 (884). [http://www.wyckoffschools.org/coolidge/index.html Calvin Coolidge School] , located at 420 Grandview Avenue, is an elementary school which opened in 1932 as a 6-room K-6 school and has been expanded several times over the years. Dwight D. Eisenhower Middle School was approved in 1960 and dedicated 1963. Since 1993 Eisenhower has served grades 6 to 8. [http://www.wyckoffschools.org/lincoln/index.html Abraham Lincoln School] was dedicated in 1953 on land purchased in 1950. [http://www.wyckoffschools.org/sicomac/index.html Sicomac School] was completed in 1967. [http://www.wyckoffschools.org/washington/index.html George Washington School] was constructed as an 11-room brick building on the site where the previous school had burned down.

In 2005, a major multi-school expansion project was on the ballots on Election Day, and was passed. Each taxpayer would need to pay an extra $14 each month for almost two years to cover the cost of the project that would add 2-12 rooms into each school, to help with over-crowding in Wyckoff. The construction began in Eisenhower Middle School, the most crowded, in Spring of 2006. Extra precautions had and have to be taken, because the construction is going on while students are in school. During the summer of 2006, in-the-building renovations started, while it was safer to bring larger object in through the halls. One science classroom and a social studies classroom next to it had the wall between the two moved, and the social studies classroom became 1/3 its previous size, and is now the copy center, and will become a hallway to connect the original building and the new expansion. The science classroom became the new guidance office. The older, and smaller guidance office became a special-education classroom. Eisenhower's construction should be completed by early September of 2007. The elementary schools' construction will definitely be completed by September of 2008, but will probably be finished by early 2008.

Public high school students from Wyckoff have the choice to attend either Ramapo High School, in Franklin Lakes or Indian Hills High School located in Oakland. Both high schools are part of the Ramapo Indian Hills Regional High School District. [Van Dusen, Matthew. "Ramapo-Indian Hills schools chief to retire.", "The Record (Bergen County)", October 24, 2007. "Later, parents of Oakland students protested their lack of choice, and students in Wyckoff, Franklin Lakes and Oakland can now attend either school."]

The first school in the town was a one-room school built on Wyckoff Avenue in 1869 and used until 1906; demolished in 1906. Prior to 1929, high school students attended Central High School in Paterson, before the Board of Education voted to send students to Ramsey High School in Ramsey instead.
