WASHINGTON'S HEADQUARTERS - Riverdale, NJ - New Jersey Historical Markers on Waymarking.com

This is an old historical marker found at the corner of Newark Pompton Turnpike and Greenwich Street in Riverdale, NJ. The marker is in poor shape with all of the paint long gone. The covering of the cement post is deteriorating and nearly gone. In 2010, another marker with the same wording was placed at the entrance to Pompton Lakes, about a mile away from this marker.
