Montclair is a township located in Essex County, New Jersey, and is home to over 37,000 residents.  Montclair is located on the east side of the First Mountain of the Watchung Mountains. The name Montclair is taken from the French words mont clair, which means “clear mountain.” Montclair’s roots go back to 1868, when it became a township using portions of Bloomfield Township.  This was done in order to build a second railroad to Montclair.  In 1894 it became a town.  In 1980 a referendum was passed to change the name to Township of Montclair in order to take advantage of federal revenue sharing policies that gave more aid to municipalities on a per capita basis.

There are several streams that flow through Montclair.  In the center of town is Tony’s Brook.  Nishuane Brook is in the southeast, Wigwam Brook in the southwest, Pearl Brook in the northwest, and Yantacaw Brook.  All of the streams are in the Passaic River watershed.
