History
Route 93 originated in 1927 as an alignment of State Highway Route S5, which ran along the Bergen Turnpike from State Highway Route 5 northward to an intersection with State Highway Route 1 entirely in Ridgefield. Route S5 was realigned in 1929 from the Bergen Turnpike to Grand Avenue, and remained on this alignment until the 1953 renumbering on January 1, 1953, when Route S5 was renumbered to Route 93. In 1954, the state took over the remainder of Grand Avenue from U.S. Route 46 to NJ 4 from Bergen County, and Route 93 was extended. The route has remained intact since the 1953 renumbering.
