About Totowa

Totowa is a Passaic County borough near Paterson, Woodland Park, and the Garret Mountain area. Its land history reaches back to the 1696 Willock's Patent purchase, and the borough later became part of northern New Jersey's dense suburban and industrial landscape. Totowa has quick access to major highways, local shopping, and nearby parks such as Garret Mountain Reservation. It feels like a practical North Jersey borough: compact, car-oriented, close to jobs and errands, with green space rising just beyond the busy roads.
