J. Wyman Jones, the first direct-dial call and East Hill.
When the township was named in 1859, landowner J. Wyman Jones persuaded residents to choose Englewood over Brayton and Paliscena. Englewood became a city on March 17, 1899. Wealthy New Yorkers built estates on East Hill, below the Palisades, and the city’s historic Dutch houses still line Grand Avenue.
Englewood has had its moments in history: Upton Sinclair’s Helicon Home Colony (1906–07), the first customer-dialed long-distance call, placed by the mayor on November 10, 1951, and a young Vince Lombardi coaching at St. Cecilia High School. Englewood Golf Club hosted the 1909 U.S. Open.
Today Englewood is home to Englewood Hospital, private schools like Dwight-Englewood, and a large Orthodox Jewish community centered on congregations like Ahavath Torah, founded in 1895, and day schools like Moriah.
