Highways of Bergen County, New Jersey

County Road 45

Bergen County Road 45, Park Avenue, was cut through in the 1860s as a carriage path direct from the Boiling Springs station on the Erie Railroad to Valley Brook Park, a horse racing track on a site now occupied by Riverside County Park (North). The Boiling Springs station was renamed Rutherford station after the Borough of Rutherford was formed in 1881.

The road, previously labeled as CR 30, was correctly inventoried from west to east. However, locals commonly refer to it as a north-south road and it serves as the dividing line between east and west in Rutherford. As a result, the county reassigned an odd number, 45, to the road so that it would be considered as running north and south.
