Paramus Reformed Church Historic District
Paramus Reformed Church Historic District is a historic district bounded by Franklin Turnpike, Route 17, Saddle River, south side of Valleau Cemetery, and E Glen Avenue in Ridgewood, Bergen County, New Jersey, United States. The congregation was established in 1725 by Dutch settlers. The stone church was built in 1800, replacing an earlier building from 1735 and using the bricks of the old church. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 25, 1975. The church also has a small gated cemetery with graves of Dutch ancestors and a path that leads to a nearby residential street. The church was used as a hospital, barrack and prison in the Revolutionary War. The church is currently still in use. On November 16 and December 26, 2014, Joseph Galli of Somerville allegedly used a high powered AR-15 rifle to shoot inside the church. This led to the breaking of a stained glass window dating back to 1875. Him and Alexander Norell were charged with more than $2,000 in property damage and indicted for gun charges with an assault rifle.
