  Closter is a family-centered community of 9,000 located about ten miles northwest of New York City. During the Revolutionary War, Closter was the scene of many foraging raids by both sides, but was viewed as a rebel hotbed by the British. A monument on Piermont Road commemorates the "Lone Horseman" who is credited with warning patriot troops at Fort Lee of Cornwallis' impending landing with 5,000 troops at Closter Dock and thus contributing to General Washington's successful strategic retreat across New Jersey.
Closter today may be called the "Hub of the Northern Valley" due to its concentration of shopping centers, recreational facilities, and religious, medical, educational and legal resources. Although Closter has the most homes in Bergen County built before 1740 and many street names recall the early Dutch and French settlement, it offers new upscale housing developments creating a pleasing blend of the historic and the up-to-the-minute. Commuters to New York City find a scenic and friendly locale in which to raise families in Closter. The Closter school system consists of the Hillside Elementary School, The Tenakill Middle School and high school students attend the very highly rated Northern Valley Regional High School.
The Closter Recreation Department offers sports programs, including travel teams for K-8, Adult Recreation Programs, a free Children's Summer Recreation Program, Memorial Day Picnic, Halloween Parade and a Performing Arts Program. The Closter Nature Center sponsors monthly programs for youth and community groups. The Closter Library is located at 280 High Street. Some of the Houses of Worship include Temple Beth-El and Temple Emanu-El.
