January 27, 2008 Historic Moment

Did you know....The name New Hackensack is derived from Hackensack, New Jersey from which many of our earliest settlers came. Among the first were the VanBunschotens, the Snadikers and the Vanderbilts. The original hamlet of New Hacksack contained a school located next to the church and one store which included the post office and was owned by F.E. Hopson. There was also a grist mill, a saw mill, a hotel, a blacksmith shop and a wagon shop.
