This Day in History: 1922-01-13

A special committee was chosen by the Women’s Club to select a name for the Town Park to the west of the Station which the Club has been planting.  The four members of the committee were expected to select an appropriate Indian name.  But they came up with Kilmer Park in memory of Joyce Kilmer the poet and former Mahwah resident who was killed in the war.
