Fort Lee became Fort Lee in 1904. Earlier it was part of Ridgefield Twp, which was set off from Hackensack Twp in 1871. The city of Hackensack does not appear to have had city directories prior to about 1907. I do not know if Fort Lee would have been listed in the directories that late. However, neither Fort Lee nor Ridgefield Twp appear to have had any city directories of their own. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
