says it was marked as the home of Gerrit Hoppa on a rough sheepskin map made about 1713.

On January 9, 1804, Jacob Van Winkle deeded a strip of land to school trustees for the construction of a school. Van Winkle requested a token yearly rent of just one peppercorn, if demanded, for the land. The peppercorn was a dried berry of black pepper, expensive in quantity because it was an Asian spice that had to be imported by ship. The first schoolhouse was erected that same year with money raised by subscription. The cost was $162.20. Thus was born the first known public school system in Bergen County.
