New Jersey was divided by Royal Grants. Modern Rutherford covers part of the adjacent lands granted to major Nathaniel Kingsland on the south and to captain John Berry on the north with Union Avenue serving as the approximate boundary line. The quiet life changed in 1830 when construction began on a railroad from Paterson to Hoboken. New York City tourists came to experience the wonder of "Rapid" transportation and discovered new lands for homes. A few existing large homes on the Passaic river were converted to hotels for the summer vacationers, and land development companies formed to seal lots and build houses for new residents. Although Rutherford today contains 3 1/2 times that many are still enjoying the tree-lined streets and the small parks that were originally planned.     Town Meeting: Meetings are held on 3rd Tuesday at 7 PM & 4th Tuesday at 6 PM, Municipal Building.     Public Library Website:   http://www.rutherfordlibrary.org/ Public Schools Supt. of Schools, Leslie O'Keefe, Located at 176 Park Rutherford High School: 201-438-7675, Located at 54 Elliot Place Lincoln School: 201-438-7675, Located on Montross Avenue Pierrepont School: 201-438-7675, Located at 70 East Pierrepont Avenue Sylvan School: 201-438-7675, Located at 109 Sylvan Avenue Union School: 201-438-7675, Located at 539 Union Avenue Washington School: 201-438-7675, Located at 89 Wood Avenue Adult School: 201-933-2233 Private or Parochial Schools St. Mary's Grammar and High School Utilities and Services Water: United Water Company Gas & Electric: PSE & G Health: Passaic General Hospital, 350 Boulevard, Passaic 365-4300 Sanitation: Trash collected twice a week by the borough.
