Do you know of Northvale ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Northvale. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Northvale.<1>

Our sources for Northvale (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Northvale other than they indicate that Northvale would be found somewhere in Bergen County, New Jersey.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1887.
