Fair Lawn

Fair Lawn’s pinnacle of growth was during the 1940s and 1950s. Expansive areas of farm lands were developed for single-family homes and several large garden apartment complexes. The population exploded from 9,000 in 1940 to an estimated peak of about 37,000 in 1968. Fair Lawn Industrial Park (on Route 208) was developed during the 1950s with several additions in the following decade. Among the Industrial Park’s corporate residents are internationally known firms such as Kodak, Nabisco and Lea & Perrins.

By 1970, the remaining large tracts of land had been urbanized. The last farm in Fair Lawn was a 20 acre tract in the Industrial Park at Fair Lawn Avenue. In 1998, this tract was developed into apartments.
What began as an agricultural community has grown into a suburban town providing homes, schools, parks and shops for residents and jobs for thousands of workers in businesses, offices and industries.
