LODI
ESTABLISHED 1894 lodi-nj . org
To this day , the demographics of Lodi are still of heavy Italian influence . Homes built in the Italian style of stucco , semi-brick and columnar facades still abound . In fact , the name Lodi itself traces its origin back to a bridge of the same name in northern Italy , where Napoleon won a battle against the Austrians in 1796 . Its downtown has enjoyed a renaissance with new shopping developments replacing longtime industrial properties

The strong sense of community Lyndhurst possesses is one of the town ’ s best characteristics .

Two train stations on NJ Transit ’ s Main Line put Lyndhurst , a small community , within short reach of the big city . In summer , the community sponsors a Music Under the stars concert series at Town Hall Park .
