Paramus Road was once the Main Highway

A Journey into Paramus
Now Paramus is a place known for its shopping and its highways. Two of its main roads are divided highway with stores and shopping centers on its side. Routes 4 and 17 are considered by many a modern day "Main Street" or "Fifth Avenue" for shoppers. And, of course, there is the Garden State Parkway (with its exits 159, 161, 163 and 165).
But in an earlier time another thoroughfare was the primary route.
Route 2 would eventually be renamed Route 17, and rebuilt at its present site.
