More information in the Northern Valley Press:

It’s been documented that Haworth, N.J., was named after its namesake in the United Kingdom. A railroadman and novelist named John S. Sauzade had a hand in the establishment of a certain station stop on the Jersey City & Albany Railroad, and he named it “Haworth” in honor of one of his favorite authors. When Haworth seceded from Harrington Township and became a borough in 1904, it retained the name used for the railroad stop. (Read more)
