==History==

===Etymology===
Englewood Township, the city's predecessor, is believed to have been named in 1859 for the Engle family. The community had been called the "[[English Neighborhood]]", as the first primarily [[English language|English]]-speaking settlement on the [[New Jersey]] side of the [[Hudson River]] after [[New Netherland]] was annexed by England in 1664, though other sources mention the Engle family and the heavily forested areas of the community as the derivation of the name.<ref>Staff.

Numerous [[Englewood (disambiguation)|other settlements]] in the United States were named for Englewood as settlement in North America expanded westward. J. Wyman Jones is credited with convincing residents to choose Englewood for the city's name when it was incorporated over such alternatives as "Brayton" and "Paliscena".<ref name=History/><ref>Clayton, W.

===Pre-Colonial and Colonial eras===
Englewood, like the rest of New Jersey, was populated by [[Lenape]] [[Native Americans in the United States|Native Americans]] prior to European colonization. The Lenape who lived in the Englewood region were of the "turtle clan" which used a stylized [[turtle]] as its symbol. 2,000 Lenape originally lived in Englewood, but due to conflicts with the Europeans their population dwindled down to 50 by 1832.<ref name=History>[http://www.cityofenglewood.org/content/9262/11544/default.aspx Historic Englewood] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161225145904/http://www.cityofenglewood.org/content/9262/11544/default.aspx |date=December 25, 2016 }}, City of Englewood.

When [[Henry Hudson]] sailed up what would become known as the [[Hudson River]] in 1607, he claimed the entirety of the [[Drainage basin|watershed]] of the river, including Englewood, for the [[Netherlands]], making the future region of Englewood a part of [[New Netherland]]. However, the region remained largely unsettled under Dutch rule as the Dutch did little to encourage settlement north of modern [[Hudson County, New Jersey|Hudson County]], as the imposing [[New Jersey Palisades]] blocked expansion on the west bank of the Hudson.<ref name=History/>

[[File:GarretLydeckerHouse.jpg|thumb|The [[Garret Lydecker House]] was built in 1808.]]
In 1664, after the Dutch surrendered all of New Netherland to England, the rate of settlement picked up. The English were generous with land grants, and many families, not only English but also Dutch and [[Huguenot]], settled the area, which during the colonial era was known as the [[English Neighborhood]]. Street names in Englewood still recall the relative diversity of its earliest settlers; Brinckerhoff, Van Brunt, Lydecker, Van Nostrand and Durie (Duryea), all Dutch; Demarest (de Marais), DeMott and Lozier (Le Sueur), [[France|French]] Huguenot; and Moore, Lawrence, Cole and Day, English.

===Historical notes===
From 1906 until March 16, 1907, when it burned down, Englewood was the site of [[Upton Sinclair]]'s socialist-inflected [[intentional community]], the [[Helicon Home Colony]]. Associated with the project were [[Charlotte Perkins Gilman]] and [[Sinclair Lewis]].<ref name=Helicon>Brown, Peggy Ann.

Accessed September 16, 2017. "For five months more than seventy-five men, women, and children made Helicon their home for varying lengths of time. Their efforts received wide press coverage and attracted the attention of William James and John Dewey in addition to numerous curiosity-seekers. On March 16, 1907 a fire destroyed the main building, and the colony disbanded."</ref>

[[Direct distance dialing]], which allowed callers to reach other users outside their local calling area without operator assistance, was introduced to the public in Englewood. On November 10, 1951, Englewood Mayor [[M. Leslie Denning]] made the first customer-dialed [[long-distance call]], to Mayor [[Frank Osborne (California politician)|Frank Osborne]] of [[Alameda, California]]. As of that date, customers of the Englewood 3, Englewood 4 and [[Teaneck, New Jersey|Teaneck]] 7 exchanges, who could already dial some exchanges in the [[New York City]] area, were able to dial 11 cities across the United States by dialing the three-digit area code preceding the local number.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20070107101205/http://www.corp.att.com/attlabs/reputation/timeline/51trans.html 1951: First Direct-Dial Transcontinental Telephone Call], [[AT&T Corporation]], backed up by the [[Internet Archive]] as of January 7, 2007.

The mayor appoints members to the Planning Board, the Library Board of Trustees, and, with council confirmation, the Board of Adjustment. The mayor serves on the Planning Board. The mayor attends and may speak at council meetings, but only votes to break a tie for passage of an ordinance or resolution. The mayor has veto power over ordinances, but can be overridden with votes from four council members. The City Council is the legislative branch of government, deciding public policy, creating city ordinances and resolutions, passing the city budget, appropriating funds for city services, and hiring the City Manager. The City Council meets generally four times per month (except during summer months).

[[File:Englewood FHQ.jpg|left|thumb|275x275px|The Englewood fire station]]
The Englewood Fire Association, a volunteer company established in 1887 as the city's first organized fire protection service, built a firehouse on North Van Brunt Street, near the site of Englewood's current city hall. A professional paid fire department was created in 1912 with the establishment of a Board of Fire Examiners. The fire headquarters constructed on William Street in 1926 was used for 90 years until its replacement by the Jack Drakeford Englewood Firehouse on South Van Brunt Street, which was dedicated on May 14, 2016. The department has a uniformed force of 57 members, including a Chief, Deputy Chief, 4 Captains, 9 Lieutenants and 42 firefighters.<ref>[http://www.cityofenglewood.org/content/9264/9272/9288/default.aspx Englewood Fire Department] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170917124158/http://www.cityofenglewood.org/content/9264/9272/9288/default.aspx |date=September 17, 2017 }}, City of Englewood.
