Maywood History
Several Dutch families who arrived in the early 1600s, settled along the Hackensack River and established an Indian trading post. Initially, the area now known as Maywood was part of the New Barbados Township. The New Jersey Midland Railroad was established in 1871, and a railroad station was built and came to be known as "Maywood". Until the late 1800s, the community was rural.
