Legion Posts form County Organization. First chairman from Post 106

As appeared in The News-Letter July 21,1920: "Delegates from the various American Legion Posts in Bergen County met last evening in Bergen County Court Room at the Court House and formed a county organization.

Attorney Edward  O. West, of the Hasbrouck Heights Post, was elected chairman." 

A number of resolutions were passed including a call for a county memorial park. In 1924 a memorial was build by the citizens of Hackensack to honor the soldier who fought in the wars from World War I to the Civil War.  The memorial is in a park across the street from the Court House.
