Tenafly is an affluent suburban borough in Bergen County, about 15–20 minutes from Manhattan without traffic. It’s known for quiet tree-lined streets, highly rated public schools, large homes, and a calm residential feel.
Historically, Tenafly began as a Dutch settlement in the late 1600s. The name likely comes from a Dutch phrase meaning either “Ten Swamps” or “Willow Meadow.” The town grew after railroad expansion in the 1800s and still has preserved historic architecture from that era.
