Lambiase Farms

12-acre Lambiase farm considered for part of new Nutley Junior High between Bloomfield Avenue and Ridge Road

Caption: On a hilltop in Ridge Road, will all Nutley rustling below and the skyscrapers of New York forming the Eastern horizon, lies the Lambiase 12-acre farm which, along with about 2 acres of town-owned land, the Board of Education seeks to acquire as a site for the proposed Junior high school. In the photo above the farmhouse, barn and barnyard are shown. At the right of the photo, the peach orchard of several acres covers the soft-rolling hillside. Peacocks now roam at liberty under the heavily-laded trees. It is the Board's desire to have the main building where this farmhouse stands and use the sloping terrain for a play area.

According to historical reports, the name Nutley was first used in this area by the owners of a huge, square homestead which overlooked the Passaic River. “Nutley Manor,” as the house was called, had been built around 1826 by Peter Crary, who was then mayor of New York City.

Whenever people describe the town of Nutley, they usually mention the word “unique.”  They're also quick to point out Nutley's most distinctive characteristics — its charming neighborhoods, its excellent school system, its rich cultural heritage and civic life, and. of course, its unique name.
