In 2019 the Township of Montclair will begin a cultural resource survey of Oakcroft, which could lead to the nomination of the area as a local historic district. The survey area includes about 115 houses and is bounded by Anderson Park to the north, train tracks to the east, North Mountain Avenue to the west, and Brookfield Road to the south.

This website is intended to be a showcase for the neighborhood’s history; a resource residents can use to learn about district designation; and a way to follow the process.
