Ramsey

It is a district in Bergen Shrine, New Jersey, United States. It is a suburb of New York City, found 26 miles northwest of Midtown Manhattan. Ramsey was consolidated as a ward by a demonstration of the New Jersey Legislature on March 10, 1908, from segments of Hohokus Township.

Extra region was added from Waldwick in 1921, and parts of the ward were surrendered to Saddle River in 1925. Ramsey is named after Peter J. Ramsey, a nineteenth century landowner who passed on around 1854, who had sold the land that turned into the site of a railroad station called "Ramsey's" in 1848.
