A Look Back: Hillsdale Station's History

The Hillsdale train station was built a long time ago, in 1870. It was first used as the main stop and office for the New Jersey and New York Railroad. The main building of the station is very old and important. It has been listed on both the state and national lists of historic places since 1984. This means it's a special building that people want to protect because of its history. Long ago, there was also a big area for trains near where a grocery store is now.
