In Fair Lawn, New Jersey, the layered heritage is clear from the mix of
Native American, Dutch and English names adorning its street signs.
Author Jane Lyle Diepeveen traces Fair Lawn's history from its origins
as a settlement at Sloterdam, a site of the developing Dutch Colonial
architecture, to the innovative neighborhoods of Radburn, a cutting-edge
planned American garden city. Through interviews with longtime Fair Lawn
residents, Diepeveen honors the days of dairy farms and swimming holes,
as well as this vibrant community's progress today. From Warren Point to
Columbia Heights, Fair Lawn reveals the hidden story of this jewel of
New Jersey.
