Montclair was Cranetown, then part of Bloomfield, and became a township in 1868 so it could get a second railroad. The name comes from the French for clear mountain. It became a town in 1894.
Montclair State University grew from a teachers’ school founded in 1908. The Montclair Art Museum, the Presby Iris Gardens and Brookdale Park are local landmarks, and the town won a Great American Main Street Award in 2015.
