Glen Rock-Boro Hall is a station on NJT's Bergen County Line. Two round trips a day of the Port Jervis Line also serve this station. Glen Rock-Boro Hall is located at Harding Plaza in Glen Rock, New Jersey.  History When this station was built in 1881 with the rest of the Bergen County Railroad, it was originally called Paramus. Unfortunately for Bergen County and much of the rest of New Jersey, Boroughitis happened between 1890 and 1930. This process caused this station to become Glen Rock-Boro Hall in 1891. Not much else is known. It's likely that this is not the original station building, and that it was replaced sometime after the 1960s. The waiting room closed at some point afterwards as well.  Tour Glen Rock-Boro Hall is an average NJT station that's not along the Northeast Corridor. A lot of them are like this .  Old depot?
