Welcome to Caldwell/West Caldwell

 
With nearly 8,000 residents in Caldwell and 10,000 in West Caldwell, the adjoining towns offer a taste of small-town life. And yet transportation to New York City takes anywhere from just 16 minutes to an hour on average. 
 
Historic homes mingle with new construction, the delightful shopping district is walkable and community spirit takes center stage. The area is also home to Caldwell University, a Catholic liberal arts college.
 
In downtown Caldwell, where some of the classical architecture has been preserved thanks to thoughtful repurposing, residents can catch a movie, visit a pub or coffee shop, and indulge in local and international fare. And being so close to Montclair opens even more opportunity for dining, shopping and entertainment.
 
A registered historic site, Grover Cleveland Birthplace museum provides a free glimpse into life during the 1800s. Cleveland was born in the preserved home in 1837, where you can view a collection of artifacts and memorabilia.
 
The century-old, heavily wooded Grover Cleveland Park stretches nearly 42 acres and offers opportunities to admire rolling hills, broad meadows and water features along the Caldwell-Essex Fells border. 
Swim the day away, hit the gym, play a game of basketball or take a fitness class at the Caldwell Community Center. And West Caldwell’s community pools make quite the splash—with separate kiddie pools, snack bars, ball courts and playgrounds.
