II. History: Characteristics: Limited to those things that will probably
not change.
Land Area: (square miles approximately)
Population: (approximately)
HISTORY: There are two theories about the origin of the name of the town. One claims that the profuse growth of the Hawthorne bush in the area at that time inspired the name. The other claims the borough was named in honor of Nathaniel Hawthorne. While neither can be proven, it is known that the area was so abundant with thorny Hawthorne bushes, that farmers had to clear them from their land to protect their livestock.
CHARACTERISTICS: The Borough of Hawthorne is located in Passaic County about 20 miles from mid-Manhattan. It is made up of mostly one & 2 family homes. 1999 home sales range from $50,000 to $385,000.
