A History of Oakland: The Story of Our Village (Brief History) by Kevin Heffernan
Tucked away in the northwestern corner of Bergen County, Oakland was for years a peacefully undiscovered outpost. Yet as Kevin Heffernan chronicles in A History of Oakland, the town s placid, easygoing character belies a fascinating and deeply engrossing history. From the interactions between the earliest Dutch settlers and the area s Lenape Indians, to the surprising pro-slavery attitudes of mid-nineteenth-century northern New Jersey, to the radical and, to some, wrenching changes wrought by late twentieth-century commercial development, Heffernan provides a definitive account of the life and times of this once-sleepy town.
Heffernan, Kevin: - Oakland portrays the fascinating history of this Bergen County borough in more than two hundred vintage photographs and detailed narrative, compiled by John Madden, a member of the Oakland Historical Society, and Kevin Heffernan. The authors offer it as a tribute to Oakland and to the residents and visitors, past and present, who have helped shape the community into what it is.
