- The Newark-Pompton Turnpike (now known in portions of its former route as Pompton Avenue, Route 23, and Bloomfield Avenue), is a roadway in northern New Jersey that was originally a tolled turnpike. The roadway was first laid out in the mid-18th century and given its name in 1806. As originally designed, it connected Newark with the area north and west of the Pompton River in what is now Riverdale. Its south end is Broadway in Newark; its north end is the Paterson-Hamburg Turnpike. As such, it was part of an alternate route between Newark and Paterson. In 1917, the road was designated as part of New Jersey State Highway 8. After the 1927 New Jersey State Highway renumbering, part of the road became Route 23, while another section became part of Route 9 (now County Route 506 or CR 506). Charlie Barnet recorded the song Pompton Turnpike, which was written by Will Osborne and Dick Rogers, about the Meadowbrook, a swing era performance venue on Pompton Avenue in Cedar Grove, NJ. It is now a Macedonian Orthodox Church. The song was covered as a jazz/blues vocal version by Louis Jordan, the "King of the Jukebox" in the 1940s. President Grover Cleveland was born in a small house in Caldwell on the turnpike, now Bloomfield Avenue, west of the Pompton Avenue intersection. The house exists today in its original condition as a tourist attraction. Cleveland's father's church stands a few tenths of a mile down Bloomfield Avenue from Cleveland's original home. The road passes through the following New Jersey communities:
* Newark: Bloomfield Avenue (CR 506 SPUR)
* Belleville: Bloomfield Avenue (CR 506 SPUR)
* Bloomfield: Bloomfield Avenue (CR 506 SPUR)
* Glen Ridge: Bloomfield Avenue (CR 506 SPUR, CR 506)
* Montclair: Bloomfield Avenue (CR 506)
* Verona: Bloomfield Avenue (CR 506), Pompton Avenue (Route 23)
* Cedar Grove: Pompton Avenue (Route 23)
* Little Falls: Newark-Pompton Turnpike (Route 23)
* Wayne: Old Turnpike Road (CR 703), Route 23, Newark-Pompton Turnpike (CR 683, CR 504)
* Pequannock: Newark-Pompton Turnpike (CR 504, CR 660), Route 23
* Riverdale: Route 23, Newark-Pompton Turnpike (CR 511 ALT) To follow the road in Wayne, it is necessary to turn right onto Hobson Ave immediately after crossing the Passaic River from Little Falls, cross under a railroad trestle, and turn left onto Old Turnpike Road. Route 23 bypasses this short stretch of the old road, and it is impossible to return to Route 23 at the north end of this short stretch. (en)
