Electrician in West Paterson, NJ (Now Woodland Park)

West Paterson Is Now Woodland Park, Same Local Electrician

In a 2009 referendum, residents of West Paterson voted to rename the borough Woodland Park, largely to distinguish it from the much larger city of Paterson next door and to better reflect the community’s wooded, hillside character near Garret Mountain Reservation. The streets, the homes, and the borough boundaries did not change, only the name on the sign. A. Russo Electric was already serving this community well before the vote, and Andy Russo has kept working here under the new name ever since. If you grew up calling it West Paterson, you are talking to the right electrician, we just also answer to Woodland Park.

About the West Paterson Name

West Paterson was established in 1868 by splitting off from Manchester Township. For over 140 years it carried a name that constantly got confused with the much larger, unrelated city of Paterson next door. In November 2008, residents voted in a referendum to rename the borough Woodland Park, and the change took effect in January 2009. The borough’s ZIP code, 07424, its borders, and its Passaic County location never changed, only the name did. Longtime residents, older mail, and older search habits still sometimes use West Paterson, which is exactly why this page exists.
