The Northern Branch Corridor Project is a proposed extension of the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail (HBLR) from its northern terminus into eastern Bergen County, New Jersey, initially proposed in 2001. If built, the new service would use the right-of-way of the Northern Branch on which the Erie Lackawanna Railroad ran passenger service until October 3, 1966, and is currently a lightly used, stub-ended freight rail line owned by CSX Transportation. The Northern Branch Corridor is at the foot of the west side of the Hudson Palisades in the Hackensack River valley, running for much of its length parallel to Overpeck Creek. After mixed reactions and extensive community input to a draft environmental impact statement (EIS), it was decided in 2013 to terminate the line at the Englewood Hospital and Medical Center. In March 2017 the Supplementary Draft Environmental Impact Statement was approved by the Federal Transit Administration allowing for a period of public reaction. A separately-conceived and funded bridge at 69th St. in North Bergen, necessary for operation of the system, has been completed. In 2017 NJ Transit estimated that the line would open in 2029.

Englewood, New Jersey was incorporated on March 17, 1899. Beginning in 1980, Englewood switched from a Mayor-Council form of government to a modified Council-Manager plan of government in accordance with a Special Charter granted by the New Jersey Legislature. Under this charter, the mayor retains appointive and veto powers, while the council acts as a legislative and policy making body, with some power to appoint and confirm appointments. The City Council consists of five members, each elected for a three-year term. Four are elected from the individual wards in which they live and the other is elected by a citywide vote as an at-large member. The city is divided into four wards which are approximately equal in population. Administrative functions are responsibilities of the City Manager. The six seats in the governing body are elected in a three-year cycle as part of the November general election, with wards two and four both up together, followed a year later by wards one and three, and then the at-large council and mayoral seats. Each ward votes in two of the three years in the cycle, once for its ward seat, in the other year for the two positions voted at-large and one year with no election. The terms begin on January 1 of year after the November election.

In May 1876, a group of Englewood residents purchased six acres of land to establish a cemetery. The property, on the east side of Engle Street near the Tenafly border, was named for the brook running along its eastern boundary. Charming as the site was, there was no building for memorial services. A chapel of pink sandstone native to the area had been built on East Palisades Avenue and dedicated in March 1860. It was the first Presbyterian Church in Englewood and the first in Bergen County, with a seating capacity of 200. The congregation grew and a new, larger church to accommodate 800 people was built in 1880. In 1887, the chapel was donated to Brookside Cemetery, and moved – stone by stone – to its present site near the entrance gate to the east side of the cemetery.

Built of random coursed rough-hewn red sandstone ashlar, the chapel was twice enlarged at its original location. The 1865 addition was built of wood on the east side of the south end. In 1877, before the construction of the Vermilye Memorial Chapel, the building was dismantled and moved to Brookside Cemetery. When reconstructed there, it was turned around so that the original end is now south and the entrance is on the east, rather than west. Brookside Chapel, with its diamond-paned lancet windows is the purest example of early ecclesiastic Gothic Revival architecture in the city and one of the finest 19th Century buildings in Englewood.
