History

The first European settlers in Tenafly were Dutch immigrants, who began to populate the area during the late 17th century. The name "Tenafly" is of Dutch language origin. Some historical references cite a Dutch language connection to its location on or at "a meadow."<ref>Hutchinson, Viola L.

A part of the latter section between the | Hudson and Hackensack Rivers was designated by the Dutch as 'Tene Vlay' or 'Willow Meadow' (also interpreted as 'Little Valley'). Eventually the name was contracted to 'Tenafly' and it is with that area that this history is chiefly concerned."</ref> Other derivations cite the early-modern Dutch phrase "Tiene Vly" or "Ten Swamps" which was given by Dutch settlers in 1688.<ref name=Thinking>O'Connor, Ian.
