Little Ferry Nj, according to Bergen County Executive Jim Tedesco on September 29th in 1985, historic Gethsemane Cemetery, the final resting place of over 500 African Americans, was rededicated with a formal ceremony. The process to get there started several years earlier when efforts began to secure the deed to the land.
