Area Coalition event to feature Carlough family’s story
Hear “The Remarkable Story of the D.J. Carlough
Family” at the Fourth Annual Northwest Bergen History
Coalition Luncheon. The event will be held Friday, Nov.
1 at noon at Apple Ridge Country Club in Mahwah.
Those who attend will learn about four generations
of the Carlough family who worked the land that is now
Apple Ridge Country Club.
The Carloughs were part of a small group of German
Palatines who settled in 1713 in what is now Mahwah.
David J. Carlough, born in 1813, was a drover (cattle
driver). He purchased a large piece of property in what
was then Franklin Township to graze the herds he drove in
from Pennsylvania. His oldest son started apple orchards
on the property. The next generation became the larg-
est apple growers in New Jersey and then the orchards
became a golf course.
The program will include excerpts from D.J. Car-
lough’s 19th century journal along with slides and arti-
facts presented by Carol W. Greene from the Mahwah
Historical Society and Kay Yeomans from the Upper
Saddle River Historical Society.
The luncheon is $40 per person. This event is spon-
sored by eight historical societies in northwest Bergen
County. For reservations, contact Michelle Dugan at
