Kingsland is an unincorporated community located within Lyndhurst Township in Bergen County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.[1] and the site of Kingsland station. The Kingsland Avenue Bridge is nearby.
The Kingsland family possessed a large tract of land in the area known as Kingsland Manor.[2] on what was known as New Barbadoes Neck.
In 1872, the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad established a railway through the township, and erected a depot in the settlement named "Kingsland" in honor of the family. A railroad shop was built, and houses erected for the railroad employees. Church services were held in the train depot.[3]
Kingsland had a post office.[4]
