Cooper's Pond in Bergenfield, NJ, holds a rich history as the former site of the Tunis R. Cooper Chair Factory. Originally owned by the Demarest family in the 18th century, the property changed hands several times before being purchased by Richard Tunis Cooper and his wife Effie Huyler. The chair factory thrived under the ownership of Tunis Richard Cooper, but eventually declined due to various factors, including the Civil War and suspected embezzlement. Today, the Borough of Bergenfield aims to restore and preserve this significant piece of American industrial history, with plans to create a Welcome Center and eventually establish a Living Museum on the site.
