On the premise that no town is an island, Remember Cliffside has extended its reach, to include the history and lore of the surrounding area. The people of Cliffside came and went, from and to other nearby areas, and had ties to a lot of other towns and communities. So, as they become available, we will post in this section articles that, while they may not pertain directly to Cliffside, are important to our general knowdge of the area. If we don't know where we came from, we don't know who we are.
