The Friends of Barnet is a community organization dedicated to fostering the relationship between Montclair, NJ, USA and our sister city, the London Borough of Barnet, UK.
Originally forged amidst the Second World War, the relationship between Montclair and Barnet, UK became an official town twinning in 1981.
Children from Finchley in the London borough of Barnet were evacuated to live in Montclair, NJ in 1943. To commemorate that event, the FOB and our sister organization the Friends of Montclair exchange both high school students and adults as part of a cultural exchange program on a regular basis.
