Everything about Bergen County totally explained
Bergen County is the most populous
county of the
state of
New Jersey,
United States. As of the
2000 Census, the population was 884,118, growing to 904,037 as of the Census Bureau's 2006 estimate.
History
In 1675, Bergen was included in a judicial district with
Essex,
Monmouth and
Middlesex counties, while the territory was called
East Jersey, a
proprietary colony (as opposed to a
royal colony). In 1683, Bergen (along with the three other counties) was officially recognized as an independent county by the Provincial Assembly. At the time of its creation, Bergen County's territory also included the current territory of
Hudson County (formed in 1840), and portions of
Passaic County (formed in 1837).
The origin of the name of Bergen County is a matter of debate. It is believed that the County is named for one of the earliest settlements,
Bergen, in the location of modern day
Hudson County. The source of the name of the settlement is under wide debate. Several sources attribute the name to
Bergen, Norway, while others attribute it to
Bergen op Zoom in the
Netherlands. Still others attribute it to the Dutch word meaning "hill" or "place of safety". Some sources say that the name is derived from one of the earliest settlers of
Nieuw Amsterdam (now
New York City),
Hans Hansen Bergen, a native of
Norway, who arrived in
New Netherlands in 1633.
Bergen saw several battles and troop movements during the
American Revolutionary War.
Fort Lee's location atop the
New Jersey Palisades, opposite
Fort Washington in
Manhattan, made it a strategic position during the war. In November, 1776 the
Battle of Fort Lee took place as part of the
Continental Army's attempts to keep British forces from sailing up the
Hudson River. After these defensive positions were hastily abandoned, the American forces staged a retreat through present-day
Englewood and
Teaneck, and across the
Hackensack River at
New Bridge Landing, one of the few sites where the river was crossed by a bridge. With the British in pursuit, this retreat allowed American forces to escape capture and regroup for subsequent successes against the British elsewhere in New Jersey later that winter. The
Baylor Massacre took place in 1778 in
River Vale, resulting in severe losses for the Continentals.
In 1852, the
Erie Railroad began operating major rail services from
Jersey City on the
Hudson River to points north and west via leased right-of-way in the county. This became known as the
Erie Main Line, and is still in use for passenger service today.
In the late 19th century, state law was changed to allow easy formation of municipalities with the
Borough form of government. This led to the
Boroughitis phenomenon where many new municipalities were created in a span of a few years.
Camp Merritt was created in eastern Bergen County for troop staging in
World War I.
In 1931, the
George Washington Bridge was completed, linking
Fort Lee to
Manhattan. This connection would spur development in the post-World War II era, developing much of the county to
suburban levels. A second deck of traffic on the bridge was completed in 1962, expanding its capacity to 14 lanes.
In 1955, the
U.S. Army created a
Nike Missile station at
Campgaw Mountain (in the west of the county) for the defense of the
New York Metropolitan Area from
strategic bombers. In 1959, the site was upgraded to house
Nike-Hercules Missiles with increased range, speed and payload characteristics. The missile site closed in June 1971.
Bergen County is one of the last remaining areas of the country in which
blue laws are still in effect. This means that nearly all businesses in the county are closed on Sundays.
In 2005, Bergen County, along with neighboring
Passaic County, was listed by
Forbes.com
as the sixth most overpriced place in the nation. In 2004, the two counties were ranked second.
Based on 2006 data, Bergen County homeowners paid a median of $7,237, the fifth highest median
property tax bill in the country, and third highest in New Jersey behind top-ranked
Hunterdon county at $7,999 and #4
Somerset County at $7,318. As of 2005, Bergen had the fourth-highest median property tax of any county in the nation at $6,846, the second highest in New Jersey behind
Hunterdon. Property tax relief prompted
County Executive Dennis McNerney to call for municipalities with populations less than 10,000 in Bergen County to merge, saying "The surest way to significantly lower homeowners' property taxes is to merge small towns and reduce administrative overhead." Thirty-five of Bergen County's municipalities have less than 10,000 residents each.
Geography
According to the
U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 247
square miles (639
km²), of which, 234 square miles (606 km²) of it's land and 13 square miles (33 km²) of it (5.12%) is water.
The highest elevation is
Bald Mountain near the
New York state line in
Mahwah, at 1,152 feet (351 m) above sea level . The lowest point is sea level, along the
Hudson River, which in this region is more of a
tidal estuary than a river.
The sharp cliffs of the
New Jersey Palisades lift much the county up from the river along the eastern boundary with the Hudson River, but then relief remains relatively minimal across the county as much of it's in the
Hackensack River valley. Only in the northwestern portion of the county are any serious hills found, leading to the
Ramapo Mountains
The damming of the Hackensack River and a tributary, the
Pascack Brook, produced three
reservoirs in the county,
Woodcliff Lake Reservoir,
Lake Tappan and
Oradell Reservoir, which provide drinking water to much of northern New Jersey. The Hackensack River drains the eastern portion of the county through the
New Jersey Meadowlands, a
wetlands area in the southern portion of the county. The central portion is drained by the
Saddle River and the western portion is drained by the
Ramapo River. Both of these are tributaries of the
Passaic River, which forms a section of the southwestern border of the county.
Bergen County is bordered by
Rockland County, New York to the north, by
Westchester County,
The Bronx, and
Manhattan in New York, across the
Hudson River to the east,
Hudson County to the south, a small border with
Essex County also to the south and
Passaic County to the west.
Law and government
County Government
Bergen has had a
County Executive form of government since 1986. The current County Executive is
Democrat Dennis McNerney. The executive, along with the
Board of Chosen Freeholders administer all county business.
The seven Freeholders are elected at-large to three-year terms in office on a staggered basis, with either two or three seats coming up for election each year.
As of 2008, Bergen County's Freeholders are:
Bergen also elects three countywide officials, separately from the County Executive and Freeholder Board, who are (as of January 2008) Sheriff Leo McGuire (D), Surrogate Court Judge Michael Dressler (D-Cresskill), and County Clerk
Kathleen Donovan (R-Rutherford).
State representatives
The seventy municipalities of Bergen County are represented by seven separate
state legislative districts. Three of these districts (the 37th, 38th and 39th) are situated entirely within the county, the others cross county boundaries.

Blue laws
One of the last remaining
blue laws in the United States that covers virtually all selling is found in Bergen County. It has produced the ironic situation that one of the largest and most popular commercial shopping cores of the
New York metropolitan area is almost completely closed on Sunday (grocery stores are allowed to operate). Furthermore, Bergen County has significant populations of
Jewish (2000 estimate of 83,700) and
Muslim (2000 estimate of 6,473) residents whose observant members wouldn't be celebrating their
Sabbath on Sunday with most of their
Christian neighbors. The substantial
Orthodox Jewish minority is placed in the position of being unable to shop either on Sunday (due to the blue laws) or on Saturday (due to religious observance).
However, repeated attempts to lift the law have failed as voters either see keeping the law on the books as a protest against the growing trend toward increasing hours and days of commercial activity in American society or enjoy the sharply reduced traffic on major roads and highways on Sunday that's normally seen the other days of the week. In fact, a large part of the reason for maintaining the laws has been a desire for relative peace and quiet one day of the week by many Bergen County residents.
This desire for relative peace is most apparent in
Paramus, where most of the county's largest shopping malls are located, along the intersecting highways of
Route 4 and
Route 17, which are jam-packed on many Saturdays. Paramus has enacted blue laws of its own that are even more restrictive than those enforced by Bergen County, banning all forms of "worldly employment" on Sundays, including white collar workers in office buildings.
The Bergen County court system consists of a number of municipal courts handling
traffic court and other minor matters, plus the Bergen County Superior Court which handles the more serious offenses.
Transportation
Bergen County has a well-developed road network, including the northern termini of the
New Jersey Turnpike (a portion of
Interstate 95) and the
Garden State Parkway, the eastern terminus of
Interstate 80 and a portion of
Interstate 287. US Highways
46,
202,
9,
9W, and New Jersey state highways
4,
17,
3,
120,
208, and the
Palisades Interstate Parkway also serve the region.
Access to
New York City is primarily available for motorists through the
George Washington Bridge in
Fort Lee and the
Lincoln Tunnel in
Hudson County. Train service is available on three lines from
New Jersey Transit: the
Bergen County Line, the
Erie Main Line and the
Pascack Valley Line. They run north-south to
Hoboken Terminal with connections to the
PATH train. New Jersey Transit also offers connecting one-stop service to
New York Penn Station via the
Secaucus Junction transfer station. Connections are also available at the
Hoboken Terminal to the
Hudson-Bergen Light Rail and
New York Waterways ferry service to the
World Financial Center and other destinations. Although the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail bears the "Bergen" name, it hasn't yet expanded to run into the county; this is planned for the future. There is also bus service, available from
New Jersey Transit and private companies such as
Red and Tan Lines and DeCamp Bus Lines, offering transport within Bergen County, elsewhere in New Jersey and to the
Port Authority Bus Terminal and
George Washington Bridge Bus Terminal in New York City.
The only airport in the county is
Teterboro Airport in
Teterboro, which is operated by the
Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. Most commercial air traffic is handled by nearby
Newark Liberty International Airport in
Essex County, which also serves as a major airport for the
City of New York.

Bergen is the most populous county in New Jersey, with approximately 90,000 more residents than
Essex County. It is also fairly diverse in terms of race, ethnicity, and religion. One of the largest immigrant groups in Bergen County is the
Korean American community, which is concentrated along the
Hudson River - especially in the area near the
George Washington Bridge - and represents over half of the state's entire Korean population.
Palisades Park boasts the highest percentage (36.38%) and total number (6,065) of Koreans among all municipalities in the state, while neighboring
Fort Lee has the second largest cluster (5,978) and third highest proportion (17.18%, trailing Leonia's 17.24%). There is also an entrenched Korean population in the
Northern Valley, especially in
Tenafly,
Cresskill,
Demarest,
Closter,
Norwood, and
Old Tappan, as well as in several inland boroughs, including
Paramus,
Rutherford, and
Little Ferry.. Although the Indian American population in the area is widely dispersed, its biggest clusters are located in
Bergenfield,
Lodi,
Paramus, and
Elmwood Park. Bergenfield and, to a lesser extent
New Milford,
Dumont, and
Teaneck, have become a hub for
Filipino American immigrants, with Bergenfield becoming the first municipality on the
East Coast of the United States to elect a mayor of Filipino descent in November 1999. Taken as a whole, these four adjacent municipalities contain over 40% of Bergen's entire Filipino population, although there are small numbers of Filipinos in many of the county's communities.
The
Chinese American population is also spread out, with fairly sizable populations in Fort Lee, Paramus, and Englewood Cliffs. Fort Lee and Paramus have the highest total number of Chinese among Bergen municipalities while Englewood Cliffs has the highest percentage (8.42%). And the small
Japanese community, which mainly consists of foreign businessmen and their families, has long had a presence in Fort Lee, with over a quarter of the county's total Japanese population living in that borough alone. The remainder of Bergen's Japanese residents are concentrated in the towns surrounding Fort Lee as well as in a few northern communities such as
Ridgewood.
Meanwhile,
Italian Americans have long had a significant presence in Bergen County; in fact, Italian is the most commonly identified first ancestry among Bergen residents (21.0%). Overall, 194,614 Bergen residents were recorded as being of Italian heritage in the most recent census. To this day, many residents of the
Meadowlands communities in the south are of Italian descent, most notably in
South Hackensack (36.3%),
Lyndhurst (33.8%),
Carlstadt (31.2%),
Wood-Ridge (30.9%) and
Hasbrouck Heights (30.8%).
Saddle Brook (29.8%),
Lodi (29.4%),
Moonachie (28.5%),
Garfield,
Hackensack, and the southeastern Bergen towns were Italian American strongholds for decades, but their numbers have diminished in recent years as immigrants have taken their place. At the same time, Italian American population has grown in many of the affluent communities in the northern half of the county, including
Franklin Lakes,
Ramsey,
Montvale, and
Woodcliff Lake.
Irish Americans and
German Americans are the next largest ethnic groups in Bergen County, numbering 133,351 (12.8% of the county's total population) and 98,929 (11.2%), respectively. As is the case with
Italian Americans, these two groups established sizable enclaves long ago and are now firmly entrenched in all areas of the county.
Polish Americans are also well-represented throughout Bergen, with 65,232 residents of
Polish descent as of the last census. The community's cultural and commercial heart has long been centered in
Wallington, where 45.5% of the population is of Polish descent; this is the largest concentration among New Jersey municipalities and the seventh-highest in the United States. In recent years, the adjacent city of
Garfield has also become a magnet for Polish immigrants, with 22.9% of the population identifying themeselves as being of Polish ancestry, the third highest concentration in the state.
Many towns in the county have a significant number of
Jewish Americans, including
Fair Lawn,
Teaneck,
Tenafly,
Englewood,
Englewood Cliffs,
Fort Lee,
Woodcliff Lake,
Paramus, and
Franklin Lakes. Teaneck, Fair Lawn and Englewood in particular have become havens for the Conservative and
Orthodox Jewish communities, while Fair Lawn, Tenafly, Alpine and Fort Lee are well-known as hubs for
Russian Americans, including a substantial proportion of
Russian Jews. Closter, and Tenafly also have the largest
Israeli communities in Bergen County and two of the three largest in the state. Altogether, 83,700 Bergen residents identified themselves as being of
Jewish heritage in the most recent study.
Greek Americans have had a fairly sizable presence in Bergen for several decades, and according to census data the Greek community currently numbers 13,247 county-wide. The largest concentrations by percentage are in
Englewood Cliffs (7.2%),
Alpine (5.2%),
Fort Lee (3.7%), and
Palisades Park (3.5%). Similarly, the
Armenian American population in Bergen (8,305 according to the 2000 Census) is dispersed throughout the county, but its most significant concentration is in the southeastern towns near the George Washington Bridge.
Cliffside Park (3.6%),
Englewood Cliffs (3.4%),
Oradell (3.1%),
Ridgefield (2.4%),
Fairview (2.4%),
Demarest (2.3%), and
Emerson (2.2%) have the highest percentage of Armenians among all municipalities in the state, and in fact are all in the top 20 nationwide. Furthermore, the top 25 New Jersey communities on that list are all Bergen County communities.
Bergen also has a moderately sized
Muslim population, which numbered 6,473 as of the last census. Its most notable Muslim enclaves are centered in
Teaneck and
Hackensack, two of the most diverse communities in the entire county. Bergen's Muslim population primarily consists of
Arab Americans,
South Asians, and
African Americans, although it should be noted that many members of these groups practice other faiths. While
Arab Americans have not established a significant presence in any particular municipality, in total there are 11,755 county residents who indicated
Arab ancestry in the most recent survey.. The overwhelming majority of Bergen's Arab American population (64.3%) is constituted by persons of
Lebanese (2,576),
Syrian (2,568), and
Egyptian (2,417) descent.
The county's
African American community is almost entirely concentrated in three municipalities:
Englewood (10,215 residents, accounting for 38.98% of the city's total population),
Teaneck (11,298; 28.78%), and
Hackensack (10,518; 24.65%). Collectively, these three areas account for nearly 70% of the county's total African American population of 46,568, and in fact blacks have had a presence in these towns since the earliest days of the county. In sharp contrast, African-Americans comprise less than 2% of the total in most of Bergen's other municipalities. In Englewood, the African American population is concentrated in the Third and Fourth wards of the western half of the city, while the northeastern section of Teaneck has been an African American enclave for several decades. Hackensack's long-established African American community is primarily located in the central part of the city, especially in the area near Central Avenue and First Street.
The diverse
Latino population in Bergen is growing in many areas of the county, but is especially concentrated in a handful of municipalities, including
Fairview (37.1%),
Hackensack (25.9%),
Ridgefield Park (22.2%),
Englewood (21.8%),
Bogota (21.3%),
Garfield (20.1%),
Cliffside Park (18.2%),
Lodi (18.0%), and
Bergenfield (17.0%). Traditionally, many of the
Latino residents were of
Colombian and
Cuban ancestry, although that has been changing in recent years. Currently,
Englewood's Colombian community is the largest in Bergen County and among the top ten in the
United States (7.17%);
Hackensack,
Fairview,
Bergenfield, and
Lodi also have notable populations. The Cuban population is largest in
Fairview,
Ridgefield Park,
Ridgefield, and
Bogota, although the Cuban community is much bigger in
Hudson County to the south. Since 1990 an increasing number of immigrants from other countries have entered the region, including people from
Mexico,
Guatemala,
El Salvador, the
Dominican Republic,
Peru, and
Ecuador. The diverse backgrounds of the local Latino community are best exemplified in
Fairview, where 10% of the overall population hails from Central America, 7% from South America and 9% from other Latin American countries, mainly the Caribbean.
In the
Forbes magazine 2006 ranking of the
Most Expensive ZIP Codes in the United States,
Alpine was ranked as the 8th most expensive in the country, with a median home sale price in 2005 of $1,790,000. In all, twelve Bergen County municipalities were represented on the list, including
Englewood Cliffs (ranked #78; median sale price of $1,112,500),
Saddle River (107; $997,000),
Franklin Lakes (111; $985,000),
Woodcliff Lake (266; $786,000),
Haworth (342; $747,500),
Demarest (350; $742,000),
Ho-Ho-Kus (353; $740,000),
Wyckoff (405; $700,000),
Closter (452; $684,000) and
Ridgewood (470; $675,000).
Education

Bergen Community College - Paramus
Berkeley College - Paramus
Dover Business College - Paramus
Fairleigh Dickinson University - Teaneck and Hackensack
Felician College - Lodi and Rutherford
Ramapo College - Mahwah
Bergen has some 45 public high schools, see this list. It also has at least 21 private high schools, see this list.
Municipalities
In the last decades of the 19th century, Bergen County, to a far greater extent than any other county in the state, began dividing its townships up into incorporated boroughs; this was chiefly due to the Boroughitis phenomenon, triggered by a number of loopholes in state laws that allowed boroughs to levy lower taxes and send more members to the county's board of freeholders. There was a 10-year period in which many of Bergen County's townships disappeared into the patchwork of boroughs that exist today, before the state laws governing municipal incorporation were changed.
