The borough of Maywood is located in New Jersey's Bergen County just 20 miles outside New York City. The tiny community was once a part of the territory the Dutch ceded to the British when they gave up New Amsterdam. Major area attractions include the Bergen County Zoological Park and the Thomas Edison National Historic Site in West Orange which includes Edison's home and laboratory complex. Each year, the Maywood Police Officer's Association awards two deserving high school students from the area with $1,000 scholarships to help defray the cost of their college educations. Companies based in Maywood include the former Maywood Chemical Works (now Stepan Company) which is the only U.S. manufacturing facility that imports coca leaves with the approval of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). The company processes the leaves and sells a non-narcotic extract that is used as a flavoring agent in Coca-Cola. Maywood schools include the Bergen County Technical High School Teterboro and the Bergen County Academies, a magnet high school in nearby Hackensack. One of the best places to visit when you are in Maywood is the Maywood Station Museum, an historic restored train station from 1872 that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Famous residents from the surrounding Bergen County area include astronaut Wally Schirra, comedian Eddie Murphy, singer Tony Bennett and famed aviator Charles Lindbergh.
