The Sussex County Slave Graveyard Is A Chilling Reminder of New Jersey’s History

In the middle of the woods of the “ghost town” of Walpack, New Jersey, a little over an hour northwest of Montclair State University, sit some 50 gravestones of formerly enslaved African American residents.

Looking back: West Milford 40 years ago

Plans to demolish an existing A & P supermarket building in the Union Valley Road, Hewitt eight-acre “West Milford Shopping Center” with a new company store replacement were announced in 1996. The new building was completed and approved for occupancy by Township of West Milford officials, many of whom attended the Grand Opening in 1999. This was the third time an A&P supermarket was located in the township. In the late 1920s, the store was in a small building on Greenwood Lake Turnpike overlooking the south shore of Greenwood Lake. The second market location was in a new A&P building on Union Valley Road across from Our Lady Queen of Peace Church. That building was demolished and replaced by the existing building. The business finally closed when the A&P Company liquidated all locations in 2015. Cosmos, the latest of a couple of other unsuccessful supermarket chains in the existing building failed to attract enough customers for profit.
