History
The Borough of Oradell was once farm land known as the borough of Delford. It was incorporated on February 24, 1894. On January 18, 1897 the Delford Volunteer Fire Department was founded, the first fire department in the Borough. The first elected chief was D.Z. Westervelt. His assistant was James Earl. The first piece of equipment was a hand drawn hose cart with 700 feet of hose, costing about $700.00.
Then, early in 1903, a horse drawn Hose cart was purchased. The cart was made by Seagrave Co., serial # 1446, cost unknown. On November 5, 1920 an election was held to change the name of Delford to the Borough of Oradell. There were 350 affirmative votes and 50 negative.
The Delford Fire Department started out in a building now known as the Bergen County Playhouse
