The roots of the Aviation District trace back to the early 20th century, when New Jersey became a hub for aerospace innovation. Iconic facilities like the Curtiss-Wright Aircraft plant laid the foundation for groundbreaking advancements in aviation technology.
Long before Wesmont Station, Wood-Ridge was alive with a bustling workforce at the Curtiss-Wright Aircraft Facility, which employed thousands of skilled workers during WW2. The Curtiss-Wright facility produced aircraft engines and parts that cemented the area’s significance in global history.
As aviation expanded, the area evolved into a bustling district, transforming industrial spaces into modern communities. Many of the Aviation District’s historic landmarks still stand — from the Aviation Hall of Fame to the Passaic River Seaplane Base to the Lambert Tower.
Rosera Wesmont is a place where history and modern living converge. Our name itself is a nod to the iconic Rosie the Riveter statue and commemorative plaque just outside our property.
