St. Paul's Episcopal Church is located at 113 Engle Street at the corner of Church Street in Englewood, in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States. The congregation was organized in 1865, and their first church was erected in 1866. It is a parish of the Episcopal Diocese of Newark and the worldwide Anglican Communion.The current structure, which began construction in 1899 and opened to the congregation on Whitsunday in June 1900, was designed in the late English Gothic style by Thornton Floyd Turner, who also designed the Sunday School building in 1895 which is now a chapel, in the late Victorian revival style. The church has stained glass windows by Louis Comfort Tiffany, John La Farge, Margaret Redmond and the J&R Lamb Studios, and the rose limestone of the original church is in its foundation. The church also has a painting of the Last Supper by Clara Miller Burd, an artist associated with the Tiffany Studios. The church's parish house was designed by Aymar Embury II in the Tudor Revival style and was completed in 1916. An addition to the east side of the church was built in 1922 and was designed by Charles Wesson Hoadley of Hays & Hoadley.Many distinguished clergy have served St. Paul's, including one of the Episcopal Church's most distinguished hymn writers, Howard Chandler Robbins who served as Rector from 1904–1911.

Englewood Township, New Jersey

Englewood Township was a township that existed in Bergen County, New Jersey. It was established on March 22, 1871, when Hackensack Township was subdivided into three new townships. Englewood Township lasted just short of twenty-five years, and was dissolved on March 17, 1899. Hackensack Township was divided into three parts, each stretching from the Hudson River on the east to the Hackensack River in the west: The northernmost portion was Palisades Township; The center strip was Englewood Township; and, The southernmost portion became Ridgefield Township.The new township was quickly subdivided. The implementation by the New Jersey Legislature of a new Borough Act served to encourage the creation of new municipalities, most formed from portions of two (or more) townships. Englewood Township did not last long after this new legislation, and the case of "Boroughitis" it fomented. Bergenfield was created on June 26, 1894, from portions of both Englewood Township and Palisades Township. Teaneck was created from portions of both Englewood Township and Ridgefield Township on February 19, 1895. On May 10, 1895, Englewood Cliffs was created from sections of both Englewood Township and Palisades Township.On March 17, 1899, the remainder of Englewood Township was combined with parts of Ridgefield Township to form the current city of Englewood, New Jersey. With the creation of the City of Englewood, Englewood Township was dissolved.
