In colonial times, Kinderkamack was an area that included part of Emerson and extended southward into part of River Edge. The name was recorded as early as 1686. This portion became Etna in the late 19th century and Emerson in 1909. The road bearing the name was surveyed during the Revolution and used by American and British troops. Today, the name survives only in the main route north from Hackensack to Montvale.
