Newfoundland was a popular resort destination at the turn of the 20th century. Several resort hotels including Brown's Hotel and Idylease Inn relied on the railroad to bring guests for the resort season. The New Jersey Midland Railway developed the Newfoundland station in 1872. New York, Susquehanna and Western Railway provided passenger service until the 20th century and still travels through the area carrying freight. The 2003 independent film The Station Agent was set and filmed largely in Newfoundland, with the train station featured in the film.<ref>Kuperinsky, Amy.

Before Mendham actor Peter Dinklage was Tyrion Lannister in Game of Thrones he was Finbar McBride, a man living in an abandoned Jersey train station, on a quest to live as a hermit in The Station Agent. The movie filmed in Jersey, too -- locations include Newfoundland in Passaic County, Lake Hopatcong, Hibernia, Rockaway, Dover and Hoboken."</ref>

Newfoundland is also the home of a nationwide food waste program called AmpleHarvest.org, which was launched in 2009 to end hunger and food waste by helping millions of gardeners nationwide donate excess food to thousands of local food pantries. The program came out of a local program that started donating food from its community garden to food pantries in Newfoundland and other nearby areas.
