Wortendyke. However, passenger service began on April 8, 1871, when the New Jersey Midland Railroad began service to Pompton Township (modern-day Pompton Lakes). Upon the opening of the railroad, railroad shops were established at Midland Avenue in the Wortendyke area. The facility included a 46 by 89 feet (14 m × 27 m) roundhouse and a 58-foot (18 m) diameter turntable. The shops lasted until 1897, when they burned down.

Midland Park is a borough in Bergen County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 7,014, a decrease of 114 (−1.6%) from the 2010 census count of 7,128, which in turn reflected an increase of 181 (+2.6%) from the 6,947 counted in the 2000 census.Midland Park was incorporated as a borough on September 6, 1894, at the height of the "Boroughitis" craze then sweeping through Bergen County that led to the creation of over two dozen new municipalities in the county in that one year alone. The new borough consisted of portions of both Franklin Township and Ridgewood Township. The borough expanded in April 1920 by adding another part of Franklin Township. In a referendum held on June 9, 1931, Midland Park acquired additional land from Wyckoff (which until 1926 had been known as Franklin Township). The borough says that Midland Park was named after the New Jersey Midland Railway, which operated the railroad passing through the area of the borough in the 1870s, though elsewhere the name is said to be based on being situated "amid Bergen hills".
