In the early days of Montclair’s settlement, Watchung Avenue divided the Dutch farmlands of Speertown in the north end of today’s Montclair from the English farmlands of Cranetown. All that changed when the railroad came through in the late 1800s. Developers bought the farms and created business districts and housing around the new stations. This walk took participants through a turn-of-the-century business district and commuter suburb, developed between 1900 and 1930. The tour included a special stop at the site of the new Judy Weston Garden in Watchung Park, a place for residents and passersby “to reflect and connect.” The garden honors the late philanthropist and devoted friend of Montclair.
