Saddle River Information
Saddle River is a Borough in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States. As of
the United States 2000 Census, the borough population was 3,201. Saddle River
has the second-highest per-capita income in the state. Nationwide, Saddle River
ranks 27th among the 100 highest-income places in the United States (with at
least 1,000 households).
Saddle River Township was one of the earliest townships within Bergen County.
Several new townships had been partitioned off in the nineteenth century, and
after 1894's Boroughitis craze, several boroughs (Glen Rock and Lodi in 1894;
Wallington in 1895; Garfield in 1896; East Paterson in 1916-17; and Fair Lawn in
1924). The remaining portion of Saddle River Township was renamed as Saddle
Brook, which adopted its current name by a referendum passed on November 8,
1955.
The borough is named after the Saddle River, which flows through the borough and
is a tributary of the Passaic River.
