Do you know of West Paterson ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about West Paterson. 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 West Paterson.<1>

Our sources for West Paterson (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 West Paterson other than they indicate that West Paterson would be found somewhere in Passaic County, New Jersey.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1907 and closed  in 1924.
