The Glen Rock is a 570-ton boulder located in Glen Rock, New Jersey, United States. The boulder, which is the namesake of the town in which it is located, is the largest glacial erratic found atop Triassic bedrock in the state of New Jersey. The exact origin of the rock is uncertain, though studies alternatively place its origin in New York State's Hudson Highlands and the New Jersey Highlands. The Glen Rock, which is composed of gneiss, is located in the center of a former glacial lake. The cultural history of the Glen Rock predates the settlement of New Jersey by European colonists. The Lenape, who referred to the boulder as Pamackapuka, used the rock as a trail marker, a location to build signal fires, and as a throne for chiefs used when presiding over meetings. Later, beginning in colonial times, European settlers to the region used the rock as a landmark on trails and as a marker for land deeds. The Glen Rock, which had been largely submerged under soil, was excavated during road work in 1912; supporting structures were added to the rock during that time to prevent it from collapsing. Following the First World War, a memorial plaque was installed on the rock to honor veterans who had died during the conflict. In 1964, the New Jersey State Office of Historic Sites designated the Glen Rock as a state landmark.

Radburn is an unincorporated community located within the borough of Fair Lawn in Bergen County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.Radburn was founded in 1929 as "a town for the motor age". Its planners, Clarence Stein and Henry Wright, and its landscape architect Marjorie Sewell Cautley aimed to incorporate modern planning principles, which were then being introduced into England's Garden Cities, following ideas advocated by urban planners Ebenezer Howard, Sir Patrick Geddes and Clarence Perry. Perry's neighborhood unit concept was well-formulated by the time Radburn was planned, being informed by Forest Hills Gardens, Queens, New York City (1909–1914), a garden-city development of the Russell Sage Foundation. Radburn was explicitly designed to separate traffic by mode, with a pedestrian path system that does not cross any major roads at grade level. Radburn introduced the largely residential "superblock" and is credited with incorporating some of the earliest culs-de-sac in the United States. It was designated a National Historic Landmark District in 2005, in recognition of its history in the development of the garden city movement in the 20th century.
