Bergen County is the most populous county in the U.S. state of New Jersey.Snyder, John P ''The Story of New Jersey's Civil Boundaries: 1606-1968'' Bureau of Geology and Topography; Trenton, New Jersey; 1969. p. 77. Accessed January 3, 2018. As stated in ''History of Bergen County, New Jersey'', "Eastwood caught the borough fever in March, 1894, and was organized as a borough, but in a short time it became tired of borough life and returned to Washington township from which it was set off."''History of Bergen County, New Jersey'', (Volume I, page 302) Eastwood's demise made it the only borough in Bergen County to be dissolved after its creation.
Old Tappan, New Jersey, Old Tappan gained portions from Harrington Township circa 1896 of what had been Eastwood. When River Vale was incorporated in 1906, it included area that had been part of the Borough of Eastwood.
